About Grant Burton
Grant is a film and television graduate with both a Master's Degree and a Bachelor's Degree in the subject. He likes to review movies and TV shows, and he makes YouTube videos on all film and television related subjects.
Grant is currently a list and explainer writer for TheGamer. He's been an avid video game fan since he was a child, and his first console was the original PlayStation. He prefers to play single player games, as opposed to multiplayer games, and he currently plays on a PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, and a high end gaming PC.
Outside of video games, Grant is a big Star Wars fan, making it his objective to keep up to date on all things Star Wars. He also has a dog named Dexter.
Industry Focus
Writing for TheGamer, my focus is on creating compelling, and fun lists about all things gaming related. I also write explainers, with many of my explainers focusing more on film and television properties, particularly those that intersect with gaming such as Star Wars, Star Trek, and The Expanse.
Favorite Games
My favourite games are Metal Gear Solid, The Witcher 3, and Mass Effect 2. In recent years, games like Disco Elysium, and Red Dead Redemption 2 have been added to my list of favourites, as well as Cyberpunk 2077.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
I am not one for hunting trophies or achievements in games, but I am a completionist. I am perhaps most proud at getting every achievement in Mass Effect 2, and I am also proud of having collected every moon in Super Mario: Odyssey. That game gets really challenging towards the back end.
