    Deputy Editorial Director ReedPop

    Tom has spent 20 years in games media after getting a pointless BSc in Software Engineering. He oversees a number of ReedPop websites and projects. Previously he created VideoGamer.com and was managing editor on USgamer. He likes to reminisce about the good old days (retro games), but still thinks video games now are better than they've ever been. Formerly a Football Manager addict, he now spends his free time tweeting about the classic PGR series and telling everyone how good Xbox Game Pass is.
