About Jack Peachey

Jack Peachey is a features writer who's worked at Dualshockers and The Best War Games. An animation nerd, his favourite games don't have a genre in common as much as they all have pretty pictures. 

When not talking your ear off about a game's animation, he's getting right into the weeds of the latest issues in the industry—keeping a close eye on the many problems happening in the games and film business every day.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Beating all bosses in Cuphead with only the basic Peashooter and no equipment, including the DLC bosses.

Industry Focus

I like to focus on what's going on in the industry, but I'm also partial to talking about the storytelling and animation of games. 

Favorite Games

My favorite game changes a lot, but I'd probably say Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. I also especially love Terraria, Minecraft, Cuphead, Garden Warfare 2  and Banjo-Kazooie.
