About

Despite the surname, I do not believe I possess any French ancestry. Another prominent fact about me is that I am currently on the wrong side of 22, and I also have a fairly sizeable mole on my face that can't be removed because it's too close to my eye. Despite these two setbacks I am fabulously good looking. Well, 6/10. On a foggy day.

At the moment I have a PS3, 360, DS, PSP, PS2 and a PC all taking up sockets on the various extension plugs scattered around my room. In my cupboards I have a Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS1, SNES, Mega Drive, Master System and all kinds of Gameboys. I've also got well over 250 games spread over numerous bookcases and shelves. It's safe to say, I think, that I play a lot games. And that I never throw anything away.

On the academic side of things I've recently completed my first (and last, hopefully) degree in English Literature with Creative Writing, which I took at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. It was a pleasant three years.

Right now I spend my spare time as a freelance games journalist, which I really enjoy. I've racked up experience in writing reviews and features, worked with various PR bods and have even attended the odd event. Detailing what I get up to is pretty much the purpose of this blog. Do feel free to take a look around, and don't be afraid to get in touch if you'd like to acquire my games-related services. Serious publications only, please.

Oh, and best not forget: I can be contacted at squidman @ gmail . com

About Me

My name is Martin Gaston. I write for various online publications. Consider this a portfolio of sorts: my latest articles will be posted to your left.

Right now I'm currently writing about games, notably for play.tm (currently rated 38,947 on Alexa). I'm keen to cover other sectors of media journalism, however.

Also, I write a column for Resolution Magazine that I've been told is quite good.

I have a rich background in copy-editing, retail and media sales from my time at university. And a 2:1 degree in English Literature with Creative Writing.

I'm always available for hire. martin[dot]k[dot]gaston@gmail.com.
