About Jo Craig
Jo Craig (they/them) is a writer on The Best War Games from Scotland and has been in the industry for nearly a decade dissecting comic book movie trailers for hours and diving headfirst into horror. They still find time to review, analyze, and research anime, video games, and everything on the nerdy spectrum.
Industry Focus
With experience writing for TheGamer, CBR, and GRV Media, I also maintain a strong social media presence with a passion for contributing to the geek culture community. For The Best War Games, I operate like a Swiss army knife and produce various pop culture content in different formats.
Favorite Games
Max Payne, Five Nights at Freddys, Final Fantasy 7, Assassin's Creed Origins, and Telltale's The Walking Dead are some of my favorite titles. Both indie and triple-A horror games are always on my radar, even the plethora of Backrooms titles, alongside any comic book/superhero releases - Gotham Knights had the best suits.
Favorite Console
My first game console was Nintendo's handheld, the Game Boy Color in Lime Green, but the PlayStation 2 is my favorite for its nostalgic qualities, opening the door to Max Payne, The Warriors, Manhunt, and Jak & Daxter. Nowadays, I play on all platforms with a preference for PS5, so I can pretend to be a wizard or assassin for hours.

Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Comments On Nintendo Switch 2 Key Card Controversy: Physical Media "Is Not Going Anywhere"
The Switch 2 isn’t even out yet, and it’s already stirring up debate—this time over its controversial new “key card” system. Unlike the original Switch cartridges, these cards don’t contain any actual game data. Instead, they just act as proof of purchase, requiring players to download the full game separately. Jan Rosner, VP of business development at CD Projekt, recently spoke out about the importance of physical editions in a new interview. Rosner emphasized that choosing to release a cartridge-based version of Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition for the Switch 2 was “the right thing to do,” saying developers shouldn’t underestimate the value of physical media—especially on Nintendo platforms
