David Smith

Games journalist, video creator and freelancer. For more than ten years I’ve helped people who love video games get closer to the craft behind them.

My work has appeared at the ABC, SBS News, GamesHub, Kotaku Australia (where I was Managing Editor) and The AU Review (where I was Games and Technology Editor). In an industry that often hides the people and processes behind its games, I think it’s more important than ever to look beyond play.
