UK games journalism has been hollowed out by venture capitalists and vultures.
They've replaced talented, experienced writers with low-quality slop and a treadmill of shitty, inaccurate AI guides.
The job I loved has been turned into an insulting mimicry of something that fucking mattered
This vacancy is on my team. We have hired two people since 2023. Stable team, interesting work, C&M actively involved and feeding back into the dev process. Really rare opportunity!
A copy of the book Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut by Andy Kelly. The illustration on the cover shows a blood trail in a dark sci-fi ventilation system. A device with a glowing green screen lies on the ground.
Three tiny figures spacewalking outside a space station with a gas giant looming in the distance.
Blood splatters on the floor and an ominous shadow.
Someone watches through a vent as a figure brutally smashes the head of another figure into a wall.
Perfect Organism: The Assembly Cut
- The story of Alien: Isolation's creation

Smiling photo of me and Keza who is holding their new book, Super Nintendo
Photo of people sat playing on N64 consoles at RCade in Glasgow Scotland, a retro gaming cafe. The walls are lined with retro posters, figurines and neon lights.
I spent the evening celebrating my gorgeous friend @mackeza.bsky.social and the launch of their book.

I've seen just how much love, care and passion has poured into this over the last few years.
Everyone who has ever loved a Nintendo game should read this.
