Articles by Julian Benson, Contributor, TechRadar Gaming | TechRadar

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 traveled 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.

As well as freelancing for publications such as Wired, PC Gamer, and Edge, he's worked as Kotaku UK's News Editor, PCGamesN's Deputy Editor, and he launched and led GAMINGbible's Snapchat channel, curating the most significant gaming stories for an audience of millions of young readers.
