About Michael Llewellyn

Michael has been writing about entertainment since 2016, but he's been a gamer since playing Pac-Man in the arcade, Kings Quest 3 on the PC, and the Sega Master System he got from his late father.

In addition to loving gaming, Mike is an avid movie fan - especially cheesy 80s and 90s action films. He also loves watching wrestling, MMA, and anything with Star Wars, including the sequel trilogy. His favourite TV shows include Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica, The Boys, Dexter, and Only Fools and Horses.

Mike's favourite gaming genres are JRPG and RPGs. He fell in love with them after playing Final Fantasy 7 and made it his mission to collect as many as possible back in the early 2000s. Michael grew up a wrestling and boxing fan, so he loves wrestling, boxing, and UFC games because they have a different pace to regular fighting games.

Favorite Games

My favourite games are Final Fantasy 7, Tales of Symphonia, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I have a preference for the RPG and JRPG genre. I'm also a big wrestling game fan, with WWF No Mercy and Fire Pro Wrestling being my top picks.

Favorite Console

My favourite console is the PS1. It was the machine that introduced me to the JRPG genre with Final Fantasy 7.  However, the gaming console that means the most to me is the Sega Master System. I still remember the surprise I had when my late dad gave it to me for Christmas. 

Proudest Gaming Achievement

My proudest gaming achievement is being able to write lists and guides for TheBestWarGames after spending my youth growing up reading the Games Master magazine. I grew up telling my dad I wanted to write about video games and films, and TheBestWarGames gives me the platform to achieve that.
