  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. He owns a Wii, DSi, and Xbox 360 but spends most of his time playing XBLA and indie games. His favorite game as a kid was Super Mario Bros. 3, and his favorite game now is Snoopy Flying Ace.

  Dallas

  Dallas grew up playing games like Mortal Kombat, Super Mario World, and Starfox 64. He has owned all of the Nintendo consoles, and he once waited in line for a whole day to get a Nintendo Wii (possibly a mistake). His favorite games are multiplayer classics like the Super Smash Brothers series and Mario Kart as well as action adventure games and modern shooters like Gears of War 3 and Halo Reach. More recently, Dallas plays Rocksmith on the Xbox 360 and Starcraft 2 on the PC. He is building his first gaming PC soon and would like to play games with you. Dallas is halcon15 on both Steam and Xbox live.

  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.

  JR

  JR grew up cheating his way through point-and-click adventure games and spending countless hours on Super Mario World 2. He has been a Nintendo fan his entire life and has owned and loved every Nintendo console and hand-held with the exception of their two stinkers: the Wii and Virtual Boy (owned but not loved).
