About Rory Norris

Rory is a UK-based freelance games journalist with work in award-winning publications (both digital and print). Having played games for as long as he can remember, Rory is always on the lookout for the stories behind the games we love and the people who made them, or writing guides to help others fall in love with games. Ultimately, it’s Rory’s mission to highlight the importance of gaming as more than just a past time but as a form of cultural expression. Gaming is about people and their experiences, whether making them or playing them.

Having graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in History, Rory also loves any opportunity to combine his love of history with gaming, whether that be exploring art styles reminiscent of historical art movements or the real history hidden within a story. If there’s historical significance, Rory’s on the case!

When he’s not playing games, he can often be found creating videos about them, exploring the art form we love through visual and cinematic expression.
