Best Game Writers in the Business Here
Well, here. Except for the ridiculous nod to "Game Informer staff" (Come on, guys. Put your name down. Stand up for your opinions. Afraid of backing up those scores divided into .25 increments?), I have no real problems with the list. Well, two.
First, putting Scott Kurtz in the same game-writing category as Jerry "Tycho" Holkins is puzzling since PvP has become more a traditional (but still funny) workplace comedy more than a game or gamer satire. (Check out his archives for how much more frequent the game humor was at the beginning.) As hit or miss as the Penny Arcade comics can sometimes be, the commentary is always worthwhile.
Second, I didn't make the list.
