Articles by Daryl Baxter, Contributor

Daryl's first writing piece was during his days at Nottingham Trent University in 2012, where his interview with original Tomb Raider composer Nathan McCree was published in the Uni magazine across all its campuses, helping Daryl to discover the career he wanted to follow. Even though he was currently studying (and eventually graduated) a degree in Computer Systems (Networks) at the time.

Daryl is a freelance writer and author of two books—The Making of Tomb Raider and 50 Years of Boss Fights. A third book, the follow up to ‘Tomb Raider’, comes out in 2026. Having worked at TechRadar previously as a software writer from 2021 to 2023, Daryl understands how software can benefit users, as well as having an interest in how accessibility features can benefit others.

With over a decade of experience, his work has been featured in Tom’s Guide, SUPERJUMP, Pocket Tactics, Radio Times, The Escapist, and more.

He also owns Springboard, a copywriting business focused on AI-free work, and publishes a fortnightly newsletter of the same name.
