About David Hodgson
Originally hailing from the United Kingdom, David left his role as a writer of numerous British video game magazines (including
Mean Machines,
Computer & Video Games, and the
Official Nintendo and
Sega Saturn magazines) and a bohemian lifestyle on a dry-docked German fishing trawler to work on the infamous
GameFan magazine in 1996. David helped to launch the fledgling GameFan Books and helped form Gamers' Republic in 1998, authoring many strategy guides for Millennium Publications, including
The Official Metal Gear Solid Mission Handbook. After launching the wildly unsuccessful incite Video Gaming and Gamers.com, David found his calling, and began authoring guides for Prima Games. He has written over 30 Prima strategy guides, including
The Godfather: The Game,
Knights of the Old Republic,
Perfect Dark Zero,
Half-Life 2, and
Burnout Revenge. He lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife, Melanie, and an eight-foot statue of Great Cthulhu.
