Vic Hood

An award-winning games journalist, with seven years of experience in games journalism and a degree in journalism from City University, London, Vic brings experience from IGN, Eurogamer, The Telegraph, VG247, Dot Esports and more to the TechRadar table. You may have even heard her on the radio or speaking on a panel, as she’s previously appeared on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 5, BBC Radio Ulster and more.

For her work in games journalism, Vic has received several accolades, winning the Game Media Brit List’s Emerging Talent award, as well as being featured as MCV’s Rising Star and as part of She Plays Games’ list of 100 of the video game industry’s most inspiring women. She’s also been nominated for Journalist of the Year at the Woman in Game Awards twice and nominated for GamesIndustry.biz’s 100 Women in Games list once.

Vic used to be TechRadar's Gaming Editor, then TRG's Associate Editor, but she's now a freelance writer - we just can't seem to shake her! In her free time, you’ll find her hiding under a blanket, playing the latest horror game, or sinking hours into narrative-driven titles. When she leaves the blanket, she's either at the pub or cooking up a storm in the kitchen. 

Not only is Vic passionate about games, but she's appeared on both panels and podcasts to discuss mental health awareness. Make sure to follow her on Twitter for more.
