Profile

About Hilton Webster

Hilton is a Staff Writer with TheGamer from Ireland, writing professionally since 2021. They studied both Games Development and Journalism at University, and have been featured on other sites such as Into The Sine and StartMenu.

A self-proclaimed Zelda Historian, they're passionate about a massive variety of games, from obscure indies to the biggest AAA releases, giving them a keen insight on players want to read, and how to navigate even the most complex games. They're also an amateur photographer, which getsput to use in just about every game's photo mode.

Favorite Games

Hilton is of the firm opinion that what makes a game 'good' is how you experience, rather than how polished it is. As such, Final Fantasy 15 is one of their favourite games ever, baffling everyone. 

Oh, and Pyre. Supergiant dropped the first Perfect game and everyone slept on it.

Industry Focus

Hilton is a writer of a little bit of everything at TheGamer, from guides to help you succeed to explainers that are basically cohesive lore dumps. They love gams big and small, though find a special joy in writing about games that feel a bit more personal. You can also find them freelancing to anyone around the internet who will pay them for turning their takes into Respected Articles.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Back when Hilton first got an online internet connection, they played Halo Reach. One match, they threw a Plasma Grenade across the map, before someone started assassinating them. Except that stray Plasma Grenade had attached to someone and, wanting to hog the glory, tried to kill Hilton before their teammate finished them off. They both died in the explosion, Hilton lived, and their team won the match. 

They've never felt the same high since.
