About Blake Morse

Blake Morse is a Contributor at DualShockers with more than 18 years of experience in the video game industry as a journalist, editor, content creator, reviewer, and indie games advocate. He has been covering games professionally since 2007, with work spanning lists, features, reviews, guides, news, interviews, livestreaming, and community-focused games coverage.

Before joining DualShockers, Blake held senior editorial roles including Editor-in-Chief and Reviews Editor at Shacknews and Senior Editor at GameRevolution. He has also contributed to MMORPG, EGMNow, Newsarama, Complex, and other outlets. Across his career, he has reviewed hundreds of games, written hundreds of news articles, conducted interviews with developers and celebrities, and helped publish and promote indie games.

Industry Focus

Blake primarily covers indie games, multiplayer games, retro and classic games, action games, fighting games, open-world games, adventure games, FPS titles, anime-related topics, and PlayStation coverage. At DualShockers, his work is strongest in lists and features, often highlighting overlooked games, classic console eras, co-op experiences, Metroidvanias, and indie titles that deserve more attention.

He has covered major gaming events including E3, PAX East, PAX West, Tokyo Game Show, and TennoCon. His recurring coverage includes games and franchises such as Borderlands, Tekken, Pokémon, Metroid, Ms. PAC-MAN, Fortnite, and retro console libraries.

Favorite Games and Genres

Blake’s favorite game has been Ms. PAC-MAN since childhood, thanks to its lasting score-chasing challenge and the constant push to improve. For a more modern favorite, Blake plays a lot of Fortnite, especially after the addition of Zero Build mode helped bring in a wider group of players and friends.

His favorite areas of gaming include indie games, multiplayer games, retro classics, action games, fighting games, open-world games, co-op games, and arcade-style experiences.

First Game Console and Preferred Platforms

Blake’s first console was an NES, given to him by his grandfather for Christmas. Since then, he has owned many consoles across multiple generations and built a broad familiarity with gaming history.

Today, Blake plays across platforms, with frequent time on PlayStation 5 and PC. He often uses PS5 for convenience, while PC remains important for discovering indie games that may not receive console releases.
