Ben is an exceptionally tall freelance writer and author hailing from Indianapolis. He is the current co-host of the gaming history podcast Memory Card and is likely replaying Banjo-Kazooie right now.

It became too much of a hassle between scheduling recording times, editing audio, researching, and shipping prizes. I’m working on a new podcast focused on gaming history, though there will be no contestants this time around :P Read more

I was way late to Star vs Evil, but I’m all caught up now. A wonderful (and sadly overlooked) series. Laser Puppies 4 Ever.

No one has enough advice to help you, Nacho. Sorry. Read more

I think you missed the part of the article where I mentioned it’s a book of gaming series, and not singular games. Both those games are recommended on their respective series pages. Read more

What language are you hoping it is translated to? Read more

Only in English for now. If it sells well, who knows! Read more

Of course they did, but this isn’t a history of video games book. It’s a list of the most accessible and enjoyable games for kids in 2017. Read more

You know I didn’t think there was (since each page is meant to be written on by the owner), but I saw one for sale on Books-a-Million. Looks like it’s just a PDF version. Let me know! Read more

Target audience is 8 to 12, so that’s slightly outside. But it’s certainly worth considering. Read more

I would love that too. Here’s hoping it sells well! Read more

There are plenty of games on the list with some suggestive moments. Don’t even get me started on half of the female costumes in Street Fighter... Read more

I’m sure some unenthusiastic readers will be drawn to it :] Read more

Yep, it is out today! Hope your son enjoys it :D Read more

The whole Yoshi series of platforming games. Island, Story, Island 2, New Island, Woolly World. They’re all petty great. Island is still best though. Read more

Will consider them if I get to write a revised edition :) Read more
