Chella hails from the UK and joined Gameindustry.com around the year 2000. It was so many moons ago, she can't quite remember. Back then, the only women you saw in the games industry were in bikinis and vertiginous heels at trade shows - oh how times have changed, kind of. Chella started as a humble reviewer, but soon became our European Correspondent and keeps us on top of industry happenings across the Pond. She tends to like the weird Japanese games we've never heard of, so that's good for making us look all-encompassing and stuff. Chella does like games, so don't be fooled by the copious amount of columns devoted to bemoaning the lack of variety in the industry. When she's not surfing (the sea, not the internet) or camping up mountains, Chella likes a good action RPG (especially if it's sci-fi), anything with a good narrative and like we said, the weirder the better. She's also a regular in the GiN Lounge, but that's just because we like her accent.

Video Games Are Bad"MMMKay?

Smash The Virtual Loom

To keep up with her online friends, Chella joins Facebook, and finds that all is not wine and roses in the virtual community.

School Of Games

The announcement that British public school children will be able to study the history of computer games comes as a shock in a country that is not exactly game friendly.

E3 Lite

A teeny tiny E3 this year nonetheless had some very big announcements (which we will go over), though gone are the days of the pomp and circumstance.

Scandal? What Scandal?

Chella missed the big Manhunt 2 controversy because she was wallowing in the mud for nine days looking for a clean bathroom. Home and clean, she weighs in on Rockstar’s latest incident.
