About Nicholas Turner

Nicholas Turner is a writer on The Best War Games. He’s also an avid consumer of comics, film, TV, theater, and—of course—video games. Struck by an affliction for loving stories as a young whippersnapper, storytelling flows through his veins, powering his every decision, much to his detriment.

Favorite Games

Nick's favorite games are Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, The Elder Scrolls series and anything FromSoftware put their cheeky little paws on.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Beating Darth Malak without any guides, advice or any semblance of strategy. All it took was hundreds of mines, save scumming and the endless patience of a young kid without a job.

Favorite Console

The Playstation 2 or as its more affectionately known - the PS2. This was the console that robbed me of all my paper round earnings and lunch money.
