Graham Smith
Graham was educated in the ways of gaming by the Amiga 500, and as a result finds games to love amongst most genres. Lotus III taught him to love racing games; Mega-lo-Mania and Cannon Fodder taught him to love strategy; Rainbow Islands taught him to love platform games, and Superfrog taught him to hate Superfrog; and on and on.
When he got his first PC in 1995, he started with FIFA ’96. Soon afterwards, he realised he probably needed help when it came to picking which games to buy, and turned to the venerable PC Gamer. From there, it was a misspent youth of Half-Life, Half-Life modding, writing for Half-Life fansites, fighting with a Counter-Strike clan, and running up an enormous phone bill on dial-up internet.
He dropped out of university in 2005 to do what he’d always wanted to: write for PC Gamer. Today, he’s Deputy Editor of its UK edition.
