About Charlie Champion

Charlie is a passionate gaming journalist, who brings a unique blend of expertise and creativity to The Best War Games. A proud graduate of Royal Holloway, University of London, with a degree in English and History, Charlie has a knack for storytelling and a deep appreciation for narrative design in games. This academic background sharpens Charlie’s analytical skills and fuels a love for exploring the lore and backstories that make games truly immersive experiences.

When not crafting compelling articles for The Best War Games, Charlie can be found exploring new game worlds, always on the hunt for hidden easter eggs and unforgettable moments. From RPGs to action-adventures, Charlie's extensive gaming experience spans genres and platforms, ensuring that every article is packed with insightful commentary and engaging perspectives. 

And if Charlie isn't gaming in his spare time, then he's working on reading through the complete collection of Marvel comics in order, dating all the way back to Fantastic 4 #1 (1961). Would he recommend doing this? Probably not, but is he having a lot of fun with it? He sure is!

Favorite Games

If you ask Charlie this every day his list would change, but at least a few of these 5 would always show up, and they are:

Persona 5 Royal
Rainbow Six Siege
Football Manager
God of War: Ragnorok 
Baldurs Gate 3

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Charlie's a bit of a trophy hunter and has accrued over 40 platinum trophies on his PS5, but his biggest achievement might be his biggest failure - Skyrim's Platinum. On every platform when he's tried to platinum it (ever since the PS3), he's run into a glitch or bug that kills the platinum, and it's to a point where it's an achievement in itself for failing in so many ways!

Favorite Console

Charlie's favourite console is the PS5, as he loves the Dualsense controller and it's the console that he takes everywhere with him. That being said, he has incredibly fond memories of his PS4, as it was the first console he personally owned (since he used to share all the others with family members). Having his own PlayStation right when he was old enough to begin to appreciate video games as something more than just a bit of fun is probably what spurred him on to pursue the industry as a career.
