Julian Benson

Julian's been writing about video games for more than a decade. In that time, he's always been drawn to the strange intersections between gaming and the real world, like when he interviewed a NASA scientist who had become a Space Pope in EVE Online, or when he travelled to Ukraine to interview game developers involved in the 2014 revolution, or that time he tore his trousers while playing Just Dance with a developer.

In addition to freelancing for publications such as Techopedia, The Guardian, EDGE, and GQ, he's worked as TechRadar Gaming's Editor-in-Chief, Kotaku UK's News Editor, and PCGamesN's Deputy Editor. He also launched and led GAMINGbible's Snapchat channel, curating the most significant gaming stories for an audience of millions of young readers.
