About Joey Collins
Joey Collins writes Gaming Features articles on a variety of topics, as is in-line with their eclectic array of interests and industry knowledge. After graduating from the University of Galway, where they were a long-time member of Warhammer and Magic (the Gathering) Club, they sought to meld their interests of writing and gaming into a career.
Their first brush with gaming came in the form of a pink Gameboy Color, a Pokemon Red cartridge, and a binder full of Base Set Pokemon trading cards. This particular game sparked the lifelong love of gaming they now utilizes in their work. The binder also has a mint Base Set Charizard in it, and is currently a large part of their retirement fund.
Their favorite part of writing is being able to share their love and passion with thousands of people, and (hopefully) inspire more people to get into gaming.
