Hello, and welcome to Screen Hype! Our mission is to create entertaining articles about TV, movies, and gaming. We have a high focus on quality over quantity, and we believe in making sure that every article on our site is one that will bring entertainment value, be informative, or do both.
We cover a range of article types, but the most common ones are:
- Reviews – Designed to help you make a purchasing decision for games, or to decide whether to watch a particular movie/ TV show.
- Opinion pieces – These cover a range of formats, but will generally be the author putting forward their thoughts about a particular piece of media.
- Best of – This is where the author will put forward their choices for the best examples of a certain over-arching category. These are typically intended to recommend readers to new pieces of media.
- Rankings and ratings – Intended for entertainment value, these will take a subset of a certain topic and rank/ rate them, such as characters in a show.
- Guides – Primarily written about video games, guides are intended to help readers with any problems they might be facing in completing a game/ understanding a piece of media.
- Interviews – This is where we talk to industry professionals to get exclusive answers to questions that you might have wondered about.
Meet the Team
Here at Screen Hype, we have a wonderful team of writers, so why not get to know them a little better?
Melika Jeddi (Founder and Writer)
Hi! I’m Melika, the founder of Screen Hype. After many years writing for other publications, I decided it was time to strike out on my own so that I’d have the freedom to write the articles that appealed to me. I offer that same freedom to all of my writers, and together we’ve created something really special.
I love video games, primarily indie games, 3D platformers, and roguelites, but I’m open to most genres. I’m typically an Xbox girlie, but I dabble in the other platforms too. Anything cute and colourful will usually catch my eye, and I love games with collectibles!
I also watch a lot of TV, and tend to binge my favourite comfort shows. Some of my favourites are The Boys, Heroes, Once Upon a Time, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, Gilmore Girls, and Community. I don’t tend to watch that many movies since my attention span is terrible, but I’ll give them a chance every now and then.
Lyssa Chatterton (Writer)
I’ve been a freelance writer for seven years. It took me a while to realise that I could write what I wanted and still make a career out of it. When I’m not gaming or writing game reviews and guides, I like to write poetry or take naps with my cats (Apollo and Calypso).
I’m a cosy gamer and I adore narrative-driven games, but I’m also passionate about inclusivity and accessibility in games. As someone who is queer and chronically ill, both are very important to me. My favourite game series are Pokémon, Persona, and Animal Crossing. However, I also grew up playing games like Runescape and GTA, and still enjoy those genres. When it comes to TV and movies, I prefer animated series and movies, but I also love reimaginings like the 2015 version of Cinderella.
Megan Vincent (Writer)
While I’m new to writing professionally, I have loved writing as a hobby for practically my entire life. My father fanned the flames of my passion, helping me to hone my skills and find my voice. Whether I’m journaling or writing game reviews, writing has always been very therapeutic for me. I’m very excited to be part of the Screen Hype team!
Besides writing, I also love video games, spending time with my dogs, reading and coloring. I mostly play cozy games, but I also enjoy the occasional horror and more fast-paced game. Some of my all-time favorites include Cozy Grove, Dead By Daylight, Rocket League and Cult of the Lamb.
When it comes to TV and movies, I like a little bit of everything, from rom-coms to horror. I love The Office (US), Criminal Minds, What We Do in the Shadows, and Psych. As for movies, I have a really hard time picking favorites! But I really enjoyed Moana, the Deadpool movies, and 10 Things I Hate About You.
Blake Wilcox (Writer)
Hey, I’m Blake!
I’m a gamer, writer, and streamer with a passion for open-world games and a serious weakness for side quests and loot. If there’s treasure to be found or a hidden story tucked away, you can bet I’ll be there, grabbing every item and exploring every quest line. As a self-proclaimed loot gremlin, I love sharing my adventures, tips, and strategies with other gamers. Whether I’m streaming indie gems like Mika and the Witch’s Mountain or writing guides for games like Genshin Impact, I’m always hunting down the next big adventure—and the best loot.
Outside of gaming, I’m a collector of all things nerdy, from gaming collectibles to memorabilia. Follow my collection adventures on Instagram, and catch me live on Twitch.
