About Christian Buckley

Christian has spent his time in the games industry honing his skills in video production. Beginning with independent content creation in gaming fandom spaces to growing a following of 17k+ on TikTok, and most recently leading Social video content for the games media outlet TechRaptor, he has spent the past 10 years developing his editing style and voice.

With his origins in fandom spaces, he feels it's important to be straight to the point when connecting with his audience, and values authenticity and well articulated game analysis. Whether it's defending Kingdom Hearts, getting hype over the lore of Resident Evil and FromSoftware, or shining a spotlight on small indie titles chasing that classic 90s 3D platformer vibe, he can be found talking about his favorite titles anywhere you can find him.

 

Favorite Games

Some of Christian's favorite games are Kingdom Hearts II, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Death Stranding, Red Dead Redemption 2, and a whole lot more!

Industry Focus

Christian's focus with The Best War Games involves making original, scripted video content and his genre specialty ranges from 3D Platformers to JRPGs.

Favorite Console

The Nintendo GameCube is the most important console to Christian because it was the first console that was entirely his as a kid after using a pre-owned Game Boy Color and his sibling's PlayStation and PS2.

Other important consoles that defined Christian's taste to make him the gamer he is today are the Wii, and the PlayStation 3.
