Randolph Ramsay, Editor and Site Manager - APAC

randy Randolph became Editor of GameSpot AU with its launch in September 2006. Prior to this, he was Senior Editor of CNET Australia where he covered a broad number of consumer technology topics but mostly focused on gaming, particularly console and handheld gaming.

Prior to CNET Australia, Randolph worked as Editor and Managing Editor for Smarthouse Magazine (2004-2005), a national print title focusing on all aspects of the digital home. He was also Editor for Australian Telecom (1999-2004), a B2B publication focusing on the Australian telecommunications sector.

Randolph has been a keen technophile since primary school which encouraged his passion for games and he admits that he is the proud owner of most home game consoles and handhelds launched since 1989. He brings this passion to his writing and as a result, the advice and reviews that he offers are a result of his "tried and tested" experience and intimate knowledge of the gaming industry.

With his strong background in technology journalism, Randolph has spoken and moderated at several corporate industry events. He has also provided commentary for television, radio and media interviews such as Channel Nine's A Current Affair, on news and issues on the gaming industry.

Aside from technology, Randolph has previously written for a series of local newspapers in Brisbane and for Quest Newspapers, covering news and community issues.

Outside of work hours, technology in the form of games and home theatre gear continue to dominate Randolph's spare time but he also has a keen interest in creative writing.
