GamersInfo.net Writer: Ed

If I had been able to play games while inside of my mother's womb, I'd have done so. The first system I ever had was the Atari 2600 followed by a Tandy Color Computer. From there on, I was hooked. I'm particularly attracted to role playing games (a passion that extended to tabletop gaming through college) and action/adventure games. I don't like puzzle games a whole lot, although I enjoy strategy games, particularly real-time ones, quite a bit. I can have fun with First Person Shooters, often finding them very cathartic, but I tend to avoid survival horroor games because I find myself too stressed out.

I was a software engineer until events in my life gave me a kick on the behind and I found myself exploring my true passion, writing. Other than gaming, I love reading, especially fantasy and science-fiction. I like my games to be challenging, but not frustrating. Although I don't want to see games becoming books with pretty graphics, I don't mind seeing solid storytelling in my games.
