GameInformer

Andrew Reiner has been a staple in the pages of Game Informer since 1995, but his obsession with video games is linked to his earliest childhood memory – being picked up by his mother so that he could view an Asteroids coin-op at a Pizza Hut. From weekly trips to arcades to owning every system that hit the market since the Atari 2600, Andrew has dedicated his life to video games. He chose a career in game journalism over game creation mostly because journalists get a chance to play everything coming out, as opposed to a creator dedicating most days and nights to the same game for years on end. True to his belief, Andrew plays everything, which is evidenced in his ridiculously high Xbox 360 Gamerscore and PS3 trophy count. Andrew works side-by-side with editor-in-chief Andy McNamara each month, giving input on cover decisions and which games should be covered into the magazine. He also manages the editorial staff, and believes that all big game release dates should be national holidays.
