Senior Reviews Editor

Secret Identity: Wait, I thought this was my secret identi.... damn, the boys at the bureau are going to be pissed about this.

Website Duties: Play and write about all the latest PS2 games.

Age: 24

Acts: Much Ado About Nothing IV, Julius Caesar I, Opening

Location: If there's a bright center to the galaxy, then I'm at the point farthest from it.

First Game I Ever Played: Peek-a-boo, but Mario was a close second

Favorite Genre(s): RPG, Action, Fighters, and everything else

Current Favorites: Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Zone of Enders 2, EVE Online

Looking forward to: Magic Online 2.0, Journey to the Wild Divine, Painkiller, Starcraft Ghost, Viewtiful Joe, P.N. 03, .hack parts 3 and 4, Chaos Legion, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Best Gaming Moment: Three on one "Golden Eye" with grenade launchers (Grenade launchers? I hate grenade launchers!) and I get everyone to chase me and kill them all in a narrow corridor just as one of them is about to yell: "It's a trap!" Either that or beating "Ghost in the Shell" on one life.

Spare Time: I write video game reviews for chrissakes, you all think I have spare time. This is my spare time.

What's Cool: Ice, Breezes, Frank Sinatra, Giant robots terrorizing Neo Tokyo, Cutie Honey, Escaflowne, Lemonade on a hot day

What's Not: Fire, Lava, Re-entry, PC's older than right now (no, now. No, now....), my bank account imbalance, games that are controlled worse than my quadrapalegic aunts bowels, Sequels cashing in on the original's success but have no business doing so (George Lucas feel my wrath! Eat firey death you and your bad '40's sci-fi film).

System Specs: Dell Inspiron 8500 1.9Ghz, 512 mb ram, 64 bit GeForce 4, 40gig hard drive
