About Revert to Saved

Revert to Saved is a weblog written by Craig Grannell, a journalist and designer, sometimes musician and very occasional photographer. Revert to Saved primarily exists to offer succinct reviews and opinions, supporting the work Craig does for magazines (such as Retro Gamer, MacFormat, Computer Arts and .net). Craig primarily exists to crave really good baked goods, get carpal tunnel syndrome when playing Space Invaders Extreme, and, apparently, talk about himself in the third person.
