Independent gaming journalism — Shoreditch, London

Games, read the way you actually play them.

No scores bought and paid for, no press-junket fluff. GameEmpireRaiders.pro runs long-form reviews, frame-by-frame strategy breakdowns, and hardware tests from a small studio off Rivington Street.

How we cover it

Four things we do, and do properly.

Every piece we run follows the same route from pitch to publish. Here is what that looks like.

01

In-Depth Reviews

Minimum 20 hours with every game before a verdict. We cover performance, story pacing, and value — not a marketing checklist. Full reviews land within a week of release, free to read.

02

Competitive Guides

Frame-data breakdowns, ranked-climb routes, and meta reports written by players who actually hit the top brackets. Updated every patch so the advice never goes stale.

03

Hardware Testing

GPUs, handhelds, keyboards and headsets benchmarked on a fixed test bench with repeatable numbers. Sponsored kit is always labelled, and we buy plenty ourselves.

04

The Raiders Newsletter

A tight Friday email — three stories worth your time, one deal worth your money, zero clickbait. Free forever, or £4/month to back the studio and skip every ad.

The desk

The writers behind the bylines.

Twelve years reviewing role-playing games and still not tired of a good inventory screen. Runs the review desk and the ethics policy.

Marcus T.

Competitive Lead · FPS & Fighters

Former semi-pro who now writes the frame data instead of memorising it. If a combo is in our guide, he has drilled it a thousand times.

Sofia R.

Hardware Editor

Keeps the test bench honest and the spreadsheets brutal. Has opinions about thermal paste that she will happily share at length.

Features & Indie

Chases the small teams and the strange games nobody else is covering. Half our best-read pieces started as one of his hunches.
