About Jake Valentine
Jake brings two decades of experience with him, having covered major industry events, breaking news, one-on-one interviews, and more.
When he's not playing World of Warcraft, he's usually on the hunt for good food and a refreshing beer to wash it down.
Favorite Games and Genres
Some of my favorite games of all time are World of Warcraft, Magic: the Gathering, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, Mario Kart, BioShock, Banjo-Kazooie, and NHL 94.
As you'd expect, I love just about every genre on the market, particularly shooters, action RPGs, and TCGs.
First Game Console and Preferred Platforms
Jake's first console was an Atari 5200 dragged from his parent's attic. Once it died, he woke up to a Sega Genesis in his living room and was hooked ever since.
Jake has a soft spot for the Nintendo 64, GameCube, and Xbox 360. Today, he's mostly playing on Switch, Xbox, and PC.
