GREED CORP Review plus Gameshark Podcast Appearance

MB Updated
There Will Be Games

Hey, guess what? I have a full-blown video game review up at Gameshark.com! It's for GREED CORP, an XBLA/PSN board game...it's a pretty good one, and for the first time ever I'll have something up on Metacritic. I have arrived!

But even more exciting, really, is that I have appeared as a special guest on this week's "Jumping the Shark", Gameshark's podcast. We talk a lot about video games, of course, but we also get into the board gaming end of things. It was a fun show, me and a couple of the 'Shark boys just shooting the shit, really. They didn't realize how much I was going to talk, I don't think...once I get going, all bets are off. I haven't listened to it yet, so I don't know what all got cut. So go check 'em out, and use that tweet button to spread the word if you're into that kind of thing.

There Will Be Games
Michael Barnes (He/Him)
Senior Board Game Reviews Editor

Sometime in the early 1980s, MichaelBarnes’ parents thought it would be a good idea to buy him a board game to keep him busy with some friends during one of those high-pressure, “free” timeshare vacations. It turned out to be a terrible idea, because the game was TSR’s Dungeon! - and the rest, as they say, is history. Michael has been involved with writing professionally about games since 2002, when he busked for store credit writing for Boulder Games’ newsletter. He has written for a number of international hobby gaming periodicals and popular Web sites. From 2004-2008, he was the co-owner of Atlanta Game Factory, a brick-and-mortar retail store. He is currently the co-founder of FortressAT.com and Nohighscores.com as well as the Editor-in-Chief of Miniature Market’s Review Corner feature. He is married with two childen and when he’s not playing some kind of game he enjoys stockpiling trivial information about music, comics and film.
