Darren Price
Consumer & Gaming Writer - Australia
Darren Price has been playing video games and messing with technology for 45 years. For the last fifteen years he’s been writing about games and tech, as well. He hates sport, but loves sports video games - which he puts down to a mixture of being annoyingly contrary and extremely lazy. Whilst he is completely tone deaf, he considers Rock Band to be his guilty pleasure. A geek from way back, Darren builds his own computers, collects comic books, owns several lightsabers and is a sucker for video-gaming merchandise.
