The Crew

Zach Jackson

Co-Founder // Managing Editor

Despite a childhood playing survival horrors, point and clicks and beat ’em ups, these days Zach tries to convince people that Homefront: The Revolution is a good game while pining for a sequel to The Order: 1886 and a live-action Treasure Planet film.
Carlton, Burnley FC & SJ Sharks fan.

Kieran Stockton

Co-Founder // Lead Editor

Kieran is a consummate troll and outspoken detractor of the Uncharted series. He once fought a bear in the Alaskan wilderness while on a spirit quest and has a PhD in synthetic organic chemistry.

James Wood

Assistant Editor

From Majora’s Mask to Bloodborne, if your game has an eldritch horror vibe and a pretentious script, James will be there to avidly vouch for it. When he’s not riling up Star Wars Twitter you can find him muttering to himself in the corner about the narrative implications of game mechanics and why themes matter. 

Adam Ryan

News Editor

Adam’s undying love for all things PlayStation can only be rivalled by his obsession with vacuuming. Whether it’s a Dyson or a DualShock in hand you can guarantee he has a passion for it.

Jordan Garcia

Contributor

Jordan lives and breathes Dark Souls, even though his favourite game is Bloodborne. He takes pride in bashing his face on walls and praising the sun. Hailing from the land of tacos, he is the token minority for WellPlayed.

Nathan Hennessy

Contributor

Endearingly tepid takes and eclectic tastes, Nathan is always eager to find something to celebrate in games. Keep watch for gushing praise of refined ideas and innovation, and a bit of a whinge about how frustrating JRPGs are and yet ol’ mate cannot get enough. Turn-based tactics titles are his love.

Ash Wayling

Contributor

Known throughout the interwebs simply as M0D3Rn, Ash is bad at video games. An old guard gamer who suffers from being generally opinionated, it comes as no surprise that he is both brutally loyal and yet, fiercely whimsical about all things electronic. On occasion will make a YouTube video that actually gets views.

Mark Isaacson

Contributor

Known for his love of Tetris and his continued belief that Kirby is the strongest of anyone and anything, Mark has been around the video game industry for what feels like forever and hopefully for some time yet. If only his skills in Mario Kart were a paid gig, he’d probably have his own island by now. You’ll never walk alone.

Chantelle McColl

Contributor

Chantelle McColl is a writer based in Melbourne, Narrm, who specialises in video games and analysing how they convey memorable narratives and experiences. Dabbling in indie genres like platformers, Metroidvanias and all games story-rich, Chantelle is always on the lookout for the next experimental game. You can find her work on Checkpoint Gaming, Byteside, ScreenHub Australia and on Twitter.

Rhiannen Austin

Contributor

An effervescent gamer who has an affinity for games involving wheels, she thrives in the high-speed excitement of racing experiences or realms where magic is required. Her passion for gaming and advocacy for women in the industry makes her a dynamic force, inspiring others in any realm she may find herself.

Victor Tan

Contributor

Victor is a big fan of RPGs and enjoys helping people through areas that they struggle in. He also spends far more time on them than is probably healthy for a single individual. If he’s not playing some RPG, you can often find him playing D&D or training MMA at the gym.

Zac Reardon

Contributor

With his first home console being the PlayStation, Zac grew up on a hearty filling of Gran Turismo, Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2. When he isn’t being sucked in by the newest Yakuza series remaster, he is watching the sportsball as a Green Bay Packers and Sydney Swans supporter.

Eleanore Blereau

Contributor

When Eleanore isn’t trying to figure out how the Earth works she’s trying to pay off her loan in Animal Crossing, complete her Pokedex or finishing one more RPG or platformer. She is a lover of great characters, cute or creative art styles and awesome game soundtracks.

Holly Buckley

Contributor

When Holly isn’t talking about video games, she is most likely talking about LEGO or Star Wars or Marvel Comics or DC comics. If she’s not talking about these things, she’s most likely taking a nap.

Harrison Tabulo

Contributor

Because Harrison spent his entire education years procrastinating he’s had no choice but to attempt to make a career out of it. His most shameful displays of sweaty power include beating Fable: The Lost Chapters three times in one day and reaching level 99 Fishing in OSRS; both uttering pointless endeavours.

Joshua Rizk

Contributor

Mr Multiplatform just wants everyone to get along. Occasionally he gets called a Sony fanboy but then he spams haters with photos of his Halo, Gears of War, Super Mario and Zelda statues. When he is not gaming he is in legal courts thinking about video games or recording music thinking about games
