Jennifer has just left EGM and 1up to join Sega. She posted an entry at her 1up blog about the move, saying she wanted to be involved in making games for the whole family. I guess it’s a natural move, especially since she has a family. She will be Associate Creative Director for Family/Casual games over at Sega.
Here is a quote that will make most of you guys mad:
“Yes, the era of the hardcore gamer is coming to an end, and while I’ve loved my years at EGM, I’ve also been waiting eagerly for this time to come.”
I don’t personally think that hardcore gaming is dying or will die. I do think that the market will be expanded with a solid chunk of mainstream family games. If Call of Duty 4 has the ability to sell over 10 million units, there is room for hardcore titles.

Left to right: Stinky B., Nicky Hill, RMC, Kirby. We were playing some Guitar Hero World Tour earlier, and unfortunately, my drum set is having issues. My yellow is giving me a hell of a time. I’ll have to start researching all the DIY fix methods.

Can’t tell you just how many Halo 3 figures this is from McFarlane. We’ve lost count. We can tell you, though, that for the first time in a long time, this is a new figure. Not a repaint, not an old…
