About Me: Sorry, but I haven't yet shared the information about myself that would typically display here. Check back later to see if that changes, or if I instead choose to remain an enigma.

Duke Ferris jammed out a manifesto on GameRevolution about it, so I'll just give some side commentary on the feat.

Activision held a press event for Guitar Hero III at the Clift Hotel in San Francisco, and being only three and a half weeks fresh in my editor shoes, I was still quite a n00b, though I tried not to let that get to me as much as it did at the EA Gamers Day event. In fact, I had a short chat with Brad Shoemaker from GameSpot, and so I felt redeemed from the awkward moment we had during the EA event.

The showcase was separated into two rooms: one for the Xbox 360 version and one for the Wii and PS3. I walked passed the open bar (free drinks!), went to the Xbox 360 room and every station was rig

Just in case you haven't heard yet, Jack Thompson submitted gay porn into public court records.

I wish I could say something, but I feel like something is caught in my mouth...

Yep, one of the harsh realities of reviewing is that games with expansive online multiplayer experiences can't be comfortably reviewed in full before their release date. There just isn't enough of an online community yet to judge them, so most reviews that come out before that time will have to exclude it altogether or give it the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes, there are enough reviewers in the same boat or open multiplayer access, so that it's possible to play through each multiplayer mode until you're confident in your judgment, but many times, this just doesn't happen.

Just trying to get an online match for some games that are already out is hard... Hour of Victory...

Then there's the issue of putting out reviews early and getting content - especially hyped co

Now that I've broken into the journalism crowd, I saw myself calmly along the landscaped pathways at EA Studio Showcase 2007. I must say this was my first convention/get-together/event in many ways (noob!), as I don't think my experience at Digital Life in New York two years ago really counts. I wasn't really there to play games but to compete in a DDR competition. I was owned, by the way.

In any case, getting into a media-only event with Chris Hudak, Joe Accorsi, and Greg Damiano was indeed several notches higher than the everyday casual event. After signing in, wrapping the media badge around my neck, pinning my nametag on my jacket, and wolfing down a lunch and several EA-labelled spring water bottles (my straight-out-of-college instinct went all "Fr

Through the editing process it has been wrung - my first staff review for GameRevolution!

Is it wrong that I am more interested in what Rockstar cut from the original Manhunt 2 to have the ESRB finally slap an M rating on it instead of the fact that we "adults" can actually buy it in retail stores now?

To be released on October 31st in North America, Manhunt 2 will either be a trick or treat for me, as I ponder what the actual difference between "Mature" and "Adults Only" is. This once "unremittingly bleak" title that Sam Houser, founder and executive producer of Rockstar Games, now believes "horror fans will love" has a laundry list of descriptors under its fresh-ink 'M' rating:

Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, and Us
