About Me:
My name is Brad Nicholson, and I fancy myself both a games "journalist" and satirist. Contrary to popular belief, I have some favorite genres that actually step outside of RPGs. I especially enjoy Shooters, Point-and-Click, and Action/Adventure titles. My biggest disliked genres are anything that has to do with vehicles or Simulation. Telling video game characters when to use the restroom or cleaning up after dog messes are not my cup of tea.

I have a deep, dark belief that the best games have already came upon us in the form of the Quest for Glory series and everything else has been downhill since. I must be the only guy around anymore who thinks the text parser was more efficient at conveying story, intrigue, and solving riddles. Having to use one's brain? How dare Sierra-Online and Lucas Arts! It was a sad day when the keyboard died, and I still wish some developer out there could rekindle this sick desire to go back to it.

I am currently interested in whatever can come to me. I write because I have a passion for video games that exceeds my ability to sit back and enjoy. I love commenting, drawing up articles, reviewing and reporting on the varying news throughout the day. Furthermore, I get massive kicks out of entertaining others through the medium of video game writing.

I currently own a 360 and a PS3. I've been tossing around the idea of grabbing a handheld system for awhile now, but I am afraid of what E3 may bring in terms of hardware. Regardless, I like to say that I am up to date.

If you have any comments or inquiries feel free to hit me up.

Early leaks of information pointed towards a generic showing of a few Square Enix titles, but the event was much more than anyone expected. Developer after developer walked onto the stage and proclaimed quasi-exclusive relationships with Microsoft and pulled the veil on their latest titles. More importantly, Microsoft finally see… Continue
