Eagle-eyed Gamesblog regulars may have spotted that we have a new regular contributor on the site - and like a poor dinner party host, I've neglected to provide a formal introduction. So, Gamesblog readers, this is Jack Arnott, Jack, these are the Gamesblog readers.
Unlike me, Greg and Aleks (sob!), Mr Arnott is a full-time Guardian employee, coming to us from the world of actual news. He's a lifelong gamer, but is not a jaded old games hack like me and Greg, so will bring a fresh pair of eyes to the subject matter.
As for his gaming tastes: "My favourite console was probably my SNES, favourite game: A Link to the Past or FFVII. At the moment I'm playing an Evo 2010 Master League, finding it a bit frustrating, and FFVII Crisis Core on the PSP. I like RPGs and football games best."
But of course, the question on the lips of all Gamesblog veterans will concern our new writer's weapon of choice in the event of a zombie apocalypse. "Perhaps a paint can at the top of the stairs like in Home Alone," he ventures.
Hmm, ineffective, but nostalgic... Jack, you'll fit right in here...
