About Adam Beck

A Canadian who has worked in the gaming industry for over two decades, Beck grew up on games such as Final Fantasy and Super Mario Bros. He specalizes in roleplaying games, but covers titles in almost all genres. His dream is to one day be involved in the development of a video game, but until that day comes, he will continue to cover the industry he's so passionate about.

Favorite Games

Beck's favorite games consist of titles such as Valkyrie Profile, Tales of Destiny 2 (Eternia), Star Ocean: The Second Story and Persona 4. It's not just RPGs he enjoys, as there's also stealth games such as Metal Gear Solid 2 and horror games like Resident Evil (Remake).

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Having met so many amazing friends through raiding in Final Fantasy XIV. 

Favorite Console

It's hard to choose just one, but the PlayStation 2 was what Beck grew up with, and that's what he has the most nostalgia for.
