About Pickard12one of us since 7:26 PM on 02.24.2010

My name is James, I'm 22 years old, from the UK and a graduate of Film and Television Studies at Aberystwyth University. I've been playing video games since the age of 5 when I recieved a Sega Mega Drive for Christmas with Sonic The Hedgehog. My love for video games was solidified when I broke my leg at the age of 10 and spent most of my recovery time infront of my computer or holding a Playstation controller. This was also the same time I first experienced Final Fantasy 7 and The Secret of Monkey Island; two games that will always be very important to me, the former of which I would not complete until 7 years later. I continued the hobby with the purchase of a Playstation 2 and fairly decent gaming PCs. Sadly, I lost touch with the majority of the video game industry between the years of 2005-2008 in a phase known to my friends and family as 'The WoW Period'. I managed to break my addiction to the game shortly before going to university and have since acquired all three current generation consoles. My passion for video games is now stronger than ever before and I aspire to be involved in video game journalism as a career.

Thankyou for reading and I hope you enjoy the blog.
