About Sam Woods
Sam (He/Him) is the former Managing Editor at DualShockers. He's been in and around games media for five years now and has held a variety of roles within the industry, including staff writer, SEO editor, managing editor and global head of gaming content.?
During this time, he's hosted a PAX panel, interviewed game directors, reviewed some of the biggest games and covered some of the hottest news stories.?
He's been playing video games for as long as he can remember, and you can regularly find him on his PS5 or Nintendo Switch. When he's not playing games, he'll no doubt be watching his beloved Ipswich Town.
Favorite Games
My top five games of all time are probably The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Persona 5 Royal , Super Mario 64, Elden Ring and Hollow Knight. I tend to spend a lot of time playing Metroidvanias, Action-adventure games and JRPGs.
Industry Focus
You'll usually find me covering things in the triple-A space, with a focus on PlayStation and Nintendo.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
While not an achievement from playing games, creating a documentary on Disney Illusion Island is my proudest achievement within the video game space.
