Rebecca Quintana – Editor-In-Chief

I always loved video games, although I played mostly the NES and Genesis era, then fell into PC gaming for a long while until picking up with this generation a few years ago. Now I have pretty much every system (some in several iterations), and play them all fairly regularly. My favorite genres are definitely graphic adventures and RPGs – anything where you are given the opportunity to explore and discover gets an “A” in my book – although I play mostly everything except shooters, usually. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, yes, I have four chihuahuas. If you’re feeling bored, you can follow me on Twitter: @rrquinta.

I’ve been a gaming ever since I was a little kid but never really got that into it until High School which was the N64 days. Ever since then I’ve really gotten into playing all genres from Sports, Shooters, RPGs, you name it I’ve probably played it. I spend most of my time now playing Sports, Shooters, and RPGs. I love writing and talking about games and the industry. I own all consoles including a DS and a gaming PC, though I normally only play RTS titles on my PC. Follow me on Twitter: @TheHerp80.

I’m a student at North Carolina State University majoring in history while also minoring in journalism. Learning about the industry and the development of new IPs has always appealed to me. When I was younger, I spent most of my time playing video games on the PC. Fast forward a few years and now I play pretty much exclusively on Sony branded systems but appreciate what the PC and Xbox 360 offer. My favorite game of all time is the original Call of Duty on the PC and is followed in a distant second by Counter-Strike: Source. A few of my favorite PS3 titles are Uncharted, Gran Turismo 5 and Killzone 2. I know I am not perfect and if you have any constructive comments about my articles, please leave comments or send me a tweet.

I’ve been a gamer since a very young age, and owned most of the consoles at one time. Currently, I spend my gaming time on the PS3, DS Lite, and Wii. Looking at my gaming collection, you will find I’m a sucker for RPGs, racing games, and platformers. I will proudly admit my love for any of the wacky JRPGs. I am also very proud of the fact that my two sons are following in my footsteps with their love of video games.  Follow me on Twitter: @TheLiztress.

I can’t remember a year in my life that I wasn’t gaming.  Since the age of 2, I’ve had nearly every major console and continue to expand my collection today.  I enjoy gaming on all 3 of the major home consoles, but primarily I’m an Xbox 360 gamer.  While I’ve logged the most hours of my life on Halo 2, my favorite game of all time is The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.  Aside from gaming, I love to cook, play basketball, and just goof off with friends.  Check out my blog: jamesmanguyperson.blogspot.com and be sure to follow me on twitter: @jamesmanguyprsn

It’s hard to remember what my very first gaming experience may have been. Perhaps Super Mario World on the SNES? In any case, Pokemon Blue and Crash Bandicoot catapulted me into the industry as a bright-eyed 7 year old. I’ve been gaming ever since, making good friends and great memories along the way. While I enjoy every genre, I especially love playing RPGs, shooters, and action games on my PlayStation 3 and gaming PC. My absolute favorite games include Mega Man Legends, Kingdom Hearts, Metal Gear Solid 4, and the unparalleled Crash Team Racing. On a side note, I am currently majoring in Biochemistry at the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. If you wanna play some games, or just feel like chatting, hit me up on Twitter @PaybackPrahl or friend me on PSN: geist226. I’d love to connect with some readers.
