GamesRadar.com stuff

I currently write for Gamesradar.com, doing all sorts of reviews and features and the like. I'll try to keep this page updated with my pieces.


The big pieces

Top 7... Blatantly sexist game advertisements. Seeeeex.

The 7 most beautifully animated 2D games. Someone in the comments guessed that I wrote the entire article just to make our readers feel bad about the fate of The Act. He was right.

Classic Game Music Remixed in Beaterator. A feature I did, with all original music! And all the tracks are available for download, too.

Dragon Age: Origins - a Romance and Recruitment Guide. Think that took me a long time to make? You should read my fully-featured walkthrough, then.

Rock Band vocal strategies. All games journalists secretly aspire to be rock stars.

GR's Guide to the New Age of 3D, my first real feature for GamesRadar. (I'm not counting Rhythm Heaven Remix.)

A Super Review for The Beatles: Rock Band.

22 Brilliant Dreamcast Games Doomed to Die. (I did an entry for Super Magnetic Neo.)

And finally, Rhythm Heaven Remix, my first paid feature, which was all about one of my favorite DS games, Rhythm Heaven.

My first review, for Gardening Mama.

Oh, Naruto.

Wizard reporting
I did a bunch of reviews for Wizard Universe's games section. UPDATE! ...Except, the site's pretty much dead now, so good luck finding any of these articles on Wayback. :(

My review for the DS game Pipe Mania.
My review of Time Hollow, also on the DS.
I reviewed Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, too.
I did a tag-team review of Mirror's Edge for XBox 360 with my good friend Steve. You might remember him from the Average Joe Videos or from Sonorous Productions.
Steve and I also reviewed Left 4 Dead, which was a lot of fun.
I also did a review for Guitar Hero On Tour: Decades which features some of my friends (Thanks Rachel, Maria Pia, and Lindsay!)
I did an editorial piece on The Sonic Franchise. I'd say it's provacative, but what do I know?
I had an amazing opportunity to cover the 2008 Music and Gaming Festival (otherwise known as MAGFest) for Wizard. My coverage is most likely buried by other posts by now, but you can dig for it if you like on the Wizard gaming blog.

Comics

Guy in a Dinosaur Costume
This is my brother's old comic. He now runs a comic called Pancakes. It's great!

Blogs and such
C.A.P.S.love. This is my sister's blog. It updates far more frequently than my own site. You should check it out!

Lumberjackisto.com, the personal website of the illustrious Christopher White.
