About Joshua Newby
Joshua Newby is a contributor at The Best War Games, specialising in Video Game Adaptations for TV and Film.
Favorite Console
My favourite console is the PS4 Pro. The low price tag and graphics quality still, along with the consoles expansive library leaves this as the console king. Although the PS5 has a better graphics output, its library is yet to surpass its predecessor.
Favorite Games
My favourite games are usually a combination of low-resulotion/pixelated indie horror and story-driven exploration games.
Industry Focus
My industry focus is on the current expansive library of video game adaptations to television and film.
