About

Hey there. My name’s Dan Staines. I’m a games scholar and freelance writer currently living in Sydney, Australia.

My area of academic expertise is the use of videogames in moral education and development. I believe that videogames are uniquely suited to cultivating moral expertise and I’m interested in designing games for that purpose.

My work has appeared in Hyper, PC Powerplay, Official PlayStation Magazine, Official Xbox Magazine, Kotaku, IGN, GameSpy, and a few other places. I also edited a popular (and now sadly defunct) gaming blog named Eegra, as well as GBA World, PlayStation World, and Total Gamer magazines.

Anyway, thanks for visiting! You are a cool person and I hope you have an excellent day.

— Dan
