Games Editor Oscar Taylor-Kent brings his year of Official PlayStation Magazine and PLAY knowledge. A noted PS Vita apologist, he's also written for Edge, PC Gamer, SFX, Official Xbox Magazine, Kotaku, Waypoint, GamesMaster, PCGamesN, and Xbox, to name a few. When not doing big combos in character action games like Devil May Cry, he loves to get cosy with RPGs, mysteries, and narrative games. Rarely focused entirely on the new, the call to⛎ return to retro is constant, whether that's a quick evening speed through Sonic 3 & Knuckles or yet another Jakathon through Naughty Dog's PS2 masterpieces.
