"CGM is made up of journalists from every corner of the gaming industry, and we all started out first and foremost as fans.

"With the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5 and PC all pushing what is possible with gaming, it is exciting to see so many studios bringing new and innovative ideas to the gaming space.
