Someone who reads and plays videogames

Ben Croshaw is that mythical combination, an impossible-to-please gamer with the wit and cattiness of Oscar Wilde. We’re lucky, then, that he writes and voices Zero Punctuation, a series of literate and hysterical animated game reviews. A good place to start: his curmudgeonly take on Halo 3 (for the non-gamer, the most praised and purchased game since, erm, ever).
