About Ethan Mallory

Ethan Mallory recently graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a major in digital media and a minor in English. He has previously worked as a student editor for the Short Vine  literary journal and as a writer for Dead Talk News. He is a lifelong gamer who loves horror games, fantasy RPGs, and first-person shooters.

Favorite Console

The console I use the most is my Xbox Series X, but I also have a PlayStation 5 for whenever I'm in the mood for some Spider-Man  action.

Favorite Games

It's so hard to pick favorites, but Resident Evil 7: BiohazardRed Dead Redemption 2, and Fortnite  are definitely up there.

Industry Focus

I love analyzing narrative and atmospheric decisions in games. I also enjoy discussing trends in the gaming industry, especially when it comes to live service games.
