I'm sad to announce that The All Game Guide is going away. Freelancing
for AGG was my first full-time writing gig, and it enabled me to quit my job at
Waldenbooks so I could work at home, happily typing away.
I worked as a writer and editor for The All Game Guide from the late
1990s to the early 2000s, cranking out hundreds of reviews and descriptions for
the site. This job helped me hone my craft and opened various other doors into
the video game industry. I also met some really cool people through the site
(online and in person), including fellow writers Chris Cavanaugh, Chris Baker, Jonathan
Sutyak, Geoff Smith, John Jackson Miller, Skyler Miller, Earl Green, and
others.
Here's the message at the top of the homepage: "We're sorry to
announce that after many years of celebrating the world of video games, AllGame
has run out of quarters. The site will be shutting down on Friday December
12th."
Game Over. Bummer.

Hi Brett,
I'm really bummed about Allgame.com closing. I used it regularly, even during the 2000s periods where new reviews on the site seemed to be appearing a lot more sporadically. I believe large portions of the site, including your writing are available at archive.org
Found your blog just now while googling some author names. Glad you are still writing about games and items that others choose to ignore!
