Ian Dransfield: the smiling video games writer - Ian Dransfield
A writer who turns his hand to most anything, Ian Dransfield is nonetheless most proficient when it comes to the topics of music, movies and video games. Yes - he's a big kid at heart. He plies most of his trade at www.kikizo.com and www.hecklerspray.com, though he has been known to cover more businesslike topics - such as international property markets or the medical effects of narcotics - when he feels so inclined.
Ian has a BA (Hons) in Journalism and is proud holder of a pre-entry NCTJ certificate in newspaper journalism, so he really should know what he's doing by now. If only a little bit.
