As editor of the PC Gamer magazine, Robin combines years of experience in print (including stints on Official Xbox, the GAME magazine, and the dearly departed GamesMaster) with a lifelong love of PC gaming. First hypnotised by the light of the monitor as he muddled through Simon the Sorcerer on his uncle’s machine, he’s been a devotee ever since, devouring any RPG or strategy game to stumble into his path. He believes firmly that the best way to express that devotion is through the printed page—games journalism only truly exists if you can hold it in your hands.
