Dan has been playing games for over thirty years, from back when controllers had one button. Thankfully he has managed to keep up with his favourite hobby at his age. You can normally find him playing Roguelikes or Battle Royales, both of which are his specialist subject. When he isn't playing games, he's writing about them in books and articles. If he had to pick a favourite game, it would be The Binding of Isaac or Final Fantasy IX.
