About Stacey Henley
Stacey Henley is the Newcastle born-and-based Editor-in-Chief at TheGamer, and an award winning features writer with experience across written and video content. She won the GGW Award for her feature on the parasocial marketing of Cyberpunk 2077, and has been twice nominated for the GameHers award for Journalism. She specialises in analysis of triple-A trends, cinema, and Taylor Swift.
Industry Focus
I mostly cover analysis across the triple-A sphere, focusing on industry shifts, social issues, and consumer backlash, as well as cinema.
Favorite Games
My top 7 (a perfectly rational number to stop at) are Mass Effect 2, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Pokemon HeartGold, Baldur's Gate 3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer, Dragon Age 2. Sequels are good, apparently.
Proudest Gaming Achievement
I caught all 151 in Pokemon Blue when I was seven years old. It was more impressive back then.
