Alex Donaldson

Alex started out his career in the games media as an over-eager kid building fan sites, and now has decades of experience. He's Eurogamer's Editor-at-large, making him a roving reporter and critic that focuses down on matters both mainstream and esoteric that appeal to his sensibilities and areas of specialism. He also helps out with the boring clerical side of editorship as part of Eurogamer's leadership team.

Over the years Alex has plied his craft everywhere from magazines and websites to TV and radio, as well as those formative years building and running some of the biggest fansites of the noughties. His favourite games of all time include the likes of Star Fox 64, Mass Effect 2, Streets of Rage 2, Street Fighter 4, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, C&C Red Alert 3, Chrono Trigger, Perfect Dark, Oblivion, Ocarina of Time, and Breath of the Wild. His favourite Final Fantasy is 9.

Outside of Eurogamer, Alex also remains Editor-at-large on Gamer Network's VG247. Most notably, he's the co-founder of genre-dedicated website RPG Site, which is one of the largest destinations online for fans of role-playing video games. He's a dog-obsessive, whisky-lover, ten-pin bowler, and a fan of the NFL's Los Angeles Rams. He also collects original arcade machines, Lego, and watches.
