From the Pocket Gamer workhorse's mouth: Richard Meads

It's Christmas. That means the staff of Pocket Gamer is drunk, if not on alcohol then on the giddying sensation that comes from receiving numerous expensive presents.

All this frivolity means we're not writing stories today. To enable you to connect with us in a different way - one that doesn't involve the transmission of news, reviews, and features concerning the world of portable gaming - we've decided to go on about ourselves a bit.

Bath-based intern and creative writer extraordinaire Richard describes himself as an enigma, wrapped in a mystery. Wrapped in an extraordinary amount of hair.

I was trying to kill off my inner Nintendo fanboy, but then Super Scribblenauts came out. DS all the way for me.

Probably Super Scribblenauts. So impressed that every person I've shown it to has found their own way of making it fun. Although one friend was disappointed he couldn't make a naked priest, I'd say the game wasn't at fault there.

Tough one. Quite possibly the Game Gear Sonic the Hedgehog, as it was the first game I ever finished. If we're being objective, probably something boring like Tetris.

Donkey Kong Country Returns. Hands down. So happy to see a 2D platformer taken seriouly.

It's a bit lame to say Ocarina of Time, but I might have to. Watched a friend play through it for the first time, and was blown away all over again. Despite its age, nothing quite compares.

Any excuse to play Lylat Wars again is good by me, but I doubt I'll be affording one any time soon.

Brief respite. Anything else is a bonus.
