Parents are usually clueless when it comes to buying video games for their children - but one nine-year-old is getting ready to change that.

Joe Leslie, of Mill Hill, has been appointed as GAME’S new junior parental advisor to help confused parents pick the right gifts for Christmas.

In his first task in his new role, the video game fanatic directed and starred in his own video - ‘A Kid’s Guide to Christmas’.

He said: “I’ve loved playing video games since forever, and there’s so much cool stuff out at the moment that will make amazing Christmas presents.

“But what do adults really know about gaming? Not as much as we kids do, that’s for sure! So it’s my job to sort this out.”
