About Ben Painter
With over six years in the industry, I started in
sports journalism before transitioning into video games, TV and media to follow my other passions. I have several published articles in newspapers and online in sports, mainly football. Alongside my work at GameZXC I run an online blog TheBeautifulGame which focuses on football, including creating Tik Tok content.
Favorite Games
My favourite games include EA Sports FC 24, Pokemon, Call of Duty and the Halo franchise. Pokemon is my favourite game I have played since getting my first copy of Pokemon Blue back in the 90s and I have not looked back since. Recent titles I have enjoyed are the Star Wars Jedi Survivor series and Sony's Spider-Man.
Favorite Console
Xbox Series X is my favourite current console but the PlayStation 2 brings back some great memories. I do consider myself a massive gamer, however, owning a Nintendo Switch, and PS5 and regularly playing games on Steam. Although I do have a certain loyalty to XBOX I have no real focus due to exclusive titles I want to play on each console.
Industry Focus
My focus is to write articles about things that I enjoy such as TV shows, movies and video games. I aim to create amazing content that people enjoy and I wish to inspire others to also be creative and go and engage with the topics that I am passionate about also.
