Gary Green, Author at PSLegends

Profile

PS Legends Staff Writer, RPG/JRPG enthusiast and loving father, Gary likes to keep himself busy. Despite alternating his day-jobs in a variety of different sectors every few years, Gary always had a soft spot for the games industry and has spent around 20 years as a freelance writer in his spare time, contributing to the likes of 360 Gamer Magazine, Game UK, PlayStation Voice, The Gamer's Challenge, N4G and GameFAQs, before finding his way to PS Legends. Whilst Gary will happily dabble in various avenues of journalism, his specialty is in-depth game reviews where he certainly isn't afraid to tackle controversial games and themes. Nothing is 'too niche' for our Gary.
