About Christopher Eyles
Chris is a Freelance Writer with CBR. He has a Professional Writing Degree and has published three books: "The Shakespeare Folio," "The Shakespeare Folio - Part II," and "Cottage Country: A Haiku Collection". He worked as a PlayStation rep for six years, has been an avid gamer across all platforms for over twenty years, and loves to delve into manga, new anime series, and the occasional comic book run.
Favorite Media
It has and always will be video games. From his first encounter with the NES in the early 1990s, Chris fell in love with pushing buttons on a controller. Mario and Base Wars are the first games he can remember playing, but it was NHL 95 and Sonic the Hedgehog on the Genesis that enraptured him. Since then, he has played on nearly every console through the years, with PC gaming remaining a constant as well. His favourite video games, though there can be a lot of recency bias, include Metal Gear Solid, Halo, Titanfall, Star Ocean, Ghost of Tsushima, Yakuza, and the recent Spider-Man games.
Industry Focus
When it comes to games, Chris likes to play a bit of everything. Shooters, Driving games, Sports games, JPRG, RPG, Action Adventure, Platformers, Visual Novels, and some Building games too. He plays for the enjoyment of games across all platforms across all generations. From the NES to the Dreamcast to the current generation of PS5, Xbox, and, Switch, Chris prefers console gaming but PC gaming stays close by.
But gaming isn't always on a screen, and Chris loves to gather some friends for a little tabletop action too! Cooperative board games are his favourite, but he has no problem dishing out some damage in all-out multiplayer battles. From card games to big long-lasting RPGs, board games are stacked up in Chris' room, ready for the next game night.
