About Rachael Phillips
Rachael is a University of Lincoln graduate and Writer on The Best War Games! During her time at uni she was able to research and write her dissertation on psychological horror video games - Outlast, P.T. Demo, Doki Doki Literature Club are all super interesting in terms of how they generate fear via body horror, narrative style, and design. The relationship between the game and the gamer is something that really interests her, especially the way that games address and reflect real world issues.
She also loves horror films; raised on 80s slashers, creepypasta, and urban legends, it's no surprise that Halloween is her favourite holiday.
Her proudest gaming achievement is getting 100% on Assassins Creed 2; it was the first game she ever fully completed. Her next goal is to finally 100% Metallica's 'One' on expert difficulty on Guitar Hero 3 - she refuses to believe it's impossible without double tap!
Favorite Games
My favourite game has to be Skyrim - I went from watching my older brother play to playing it myself and it never seems to get old. A close runner up is Assassins Creed but I also have an affinity for horror games (particularly Outlast). Of course Minecraft and Mario Kart go without saying.
Favorite Movies
My favourite movie is The Lost Boys, well dressed vampires and the beach? What more could you want! 70s/80s horror films in general are my jam, but Sinister deserves an honourable mention. Despite this I'm not adverse to a romcom or a Dreamworks film every now and then!
Favorite Console
My favourite consoles are the PS1/PS2, perhaps not performance-wise but definitely nostalgia-wise; I have fond memories of playing Xena Warrior Princess and Spyro and I love the potatoey aesthetic! Since then I've jumped to Xbox 360 and PS4, as well as dabbling in the PC world (I still favour controller over mouse and keyboard though).
