About Aaron McKinley

Aaron McKinley is a writer, blogger and video game enthusiast with over five years of experience in web content and many more in playing games until the wee hours of the morning. His work spans many topics, types and sites, but technology and gaming account for much of it — and are his personal favorite.

When not working, Aaron spends his time playing Mount and Blade: Warband for the 500th time, geeking out over the DualSense's haptic feedback and dreaming about shiny new upgrades for his PC.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

I once beat Halo: Combat Evolved using an Easy Bake Oven keyboard attachment as a controller. I had to lower my difficulty, and there's no official achievement for it, but how many other people can say they've done that?

Favorite Games

If I had to pick just one, I'd say Breath of the Wild is my favorite game, but Wind Waker and Tears of the Kingdom are close seconds. The Bungie-era Halo games also hold a special place in my heart, as does the Bioshock trilogy. I also keep coming back to Mount and Blade: Warband, which I have an embarrassing number of hours in.

Favorite Console

As for current-gen consoles, I find myself playing on the PlayStation 5 more than anything else. Across all time, though, I'd have to pick the GameCube, mostly for nostalgia reasons. It's the console I grew up playing the most, it has an unmatched lineup of exclusives and I still think its controller is one of best ever designed.
