Introducing... Aleks Krotoski

Aleks Krotoski has written, spoken and pontificated about games professionally for 6 years. She started the habit on Channel 4's late night review progamme Bits in 1999 and continued after that show's demise on Channel 4's Thumb Bandits. She left the glitz and glamour of the small screen 2002, and now stares at her PC for her daily bread. She's often spotted with her nose in a book, befitting her role as a PhD student in the Social Psychology of virtual worlds. Aleks currently reviews for the BBC, is a roving reporter for Channel 5's Gadget Show and pops up occasionally on Richard & Judy. She's a fierce promoter of women in gaming and speaks out on the subject at conferences around the world. She's also the author of industry publications like ELSPA's forthcoming Women in Games White Paper. Her favourite games include Halo, Parappa the Rapper and most things Nintendo. She is desperately in search of the evasive classic Salmon Run.
