About Mac Wheeler

Mac is a TheBestWarGames writer, who has been gaming for over 40 years. He mostly plays multiplayer or co-op games, with the same group of friends he has played with online for 25 years.

Favorite Games

Star Wars Galaxies, ELITE: Dangerous, 7 Days To Die, X4 and Stellaris, EVE Online, Star Citizen and XCOM 2. These are all games that I have hundreds or even thousands of hours playing.

Industry Focus

I'm a sci-fi junkie, and specifically space games. If it has spaceships I'm happy. I also have a weakness for zombie survival games.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Unlocking my Jedi character slot playing Star Wars Galaxies before the CU and NGE updates.
