Guides Editor
James (he/him) suffers so you don't have to. Whether it's raging so hard at Sekiro that he bit his own hand, or confronting a 20-year fear of zombies to complete Resident Evil 2 eight times, he creates expert guides and reviews for the biggest blockbuster games.
He has a Master's degree in Journalism and a BA in Linguistics that he never got a chance to flex until Wordle came along. In his 7 years at VG247, James has been responsible for some of the biggest and most in-depth guides you can find on the internet – just ask anyone that's slogged through Fortnite, The Witcher 3, or God of War.
