Clark

Clark has been reviewing games since 2003 and is somewhat of a cynical gamer, unimpressed with motion controls and games that try to be too much like movies. He enjoys classic genres like platformers, beat ‘em ups, shoot ‘em ups, and hack n’ slash RPGs but doesn’t particularly like going back and playing 8-bit games anymore. He is always looking for the next great multiplayer or co-op experience, though. His primary sources for gaming are Steam, Android, and the Xbox 360.

Joe

Joe plays more games than the world would say a married, father-of-two, with a full-time job should. Regardless, he was raised on Nintendo and gaming is a bit of a lifeblood. While old-school favorites include Nintendo's most beloved I.P.'s, the unique allure of Little Big Planet on the PS3 awoke him from a powerful fanboy stupor. He's no stranger to Blizzard, except WOW that is, and campaigns are the most important part of games for Joe. That being said oddly enough, he can't stand turn-based RPG's. Most of the time Joe is gaming on the PS3 and Steam, though he owns a DS, Wii, PSP, and has recentlly gained access to the XBOX 360.
