About James Bentley

James Bentley is a freelance writer / editor / musician who has had a deep love of games ever since his childhood. This love had led him to chase a career in writing about games, leading him to work in NME, GamesRadar and, most importantly, TechRaptor. 

James loves indie experiences and huge RPGs. Anything that will take them 100 hours to finish or will confuse them will eat up all their time. James believes in the power of story and also believes games have the ability to tell stories that no other medium can. 

If you have a new indie game coming out that aims to make him cry, there's a good chance he's already got it on his list.
