PlayStation Around the Web: What We Read

As you may or may not have already noticed, I’m the new guy around here. So in between getting constantly harassed for being a Dodgers fan, I’ll be working with Jeff daily on the Blog, and I’m more than excited to be here.

A little background on me. I’ve been in the gaming industry for over five years, primarily on the editorial side. I wrote for a PlayStation-only magazine called PSE2 for a couple years, and then hopped over to GamePro where I stayed for three-plus years as Senior Editor. Any other dirt you can dig on me is most obviously a lie, though apparently my appearance on Gametrailers Bonus Round has forever linked me to that Mac guy.

Anyway, back to business. There was no post-turkey sluggishness this week, with lots of great PlayStation reads, and a ridiculously cool Vice magazine LBP cover. And be sure to check out G4’s Killzone 2 videos if you haven’t already. See you tomorrow.
