My name is Jason Cook, I am a English/journalism grad with a rabid interest in gaming and game writing. I have some reviews on
Popmatters.com and would love to work for a gaming site/magazine someday soon.
I grew up on the NES, quickly advancing to Genesis, SNES, PS1, Dreamcast (RIP, brother), Xbox, PS2 and now 360 and Wii. Some favorite genres include RPGs (huge FF geek), Action and Shooters.
I also love music, sports (run-of-the-mill rabid Boston sports fan), reading and am getting into graphic novels and comics.
Currently playing:
SMT: Strange Journey
Ongoing list of games I need to buy/play:
Silent Hill
Viewtiful Joe
Okami
Fatal Frame series
Resident Evil 1 & 2
Eternal Darkness
Beyond Good and Evil
Gears of War 1 & 2
I'm kind of disappointed in the enemies and weapons. They were like "our enemies need to be torn apart or they will keep coming! Dismemberment is an important part of our game" and now they reveal a fucking gun that shoots 'exploding win' all over the creatures and dismemberment suddenly becomes an afterthought to aiming for the biggest part of the NeCroMorPH
1 shot = no legs/no tentacles
2 shot = death
Wow, very innovative.
And unless they can think up some better level design than "gray haunted ship", they have yet to secure my purchase.
