Mark Ripley

Mark Ripley reviews games out of London. He spent the better part of his twenties writing 4,000-word reviews for monthly print before moving online, and these days he files everything from a Tuesday-night patch rundown to a weekend feature on whichever live game just rebalanced its economy. His VGTopup beat covers PC, console, mobile, and the streaming and gifting apps that keep showing up in the same conversations as games — anywhere a player has to weigh whether a purchase is actually worth it.
