About Dominic Allen

A gaming enthusiast from the northwest. Graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Portland State University with a GPA of 3.49. Has been writing about games professionally since June 2022. Has a vast video game knowledge and often spots errors in gaming YouTube videos and puts them in the comments section. Discovered the speedrun skip on the Checker level in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania. 

Favorite Media

My favorite games are Ninja Gaiden Black, Ninja Gaiden 2 (Xbox 360), and Ubisoft/RedLynx's Trials series. NG1 and 2 never get old and always feel fresh and new every time you play it. I've been playing Trials for most of my life, and there's still so many ways I can improve and get better.

Industry Focus

Console Gaming past and present. Largely on home consoles and not so much handheld. I do dabble in PC gaming, but it's mostly retro stuff from the 80s through to the early 2000s, as that's when PC exclusives were at their peak.
