Pro wrestler starts gaming column
TNA wrestler Cristian Cage (a.k.a Jason Reso) is a hardcore gamer. That's not very surprising -- plenty of sports stars these days take their love of competition to the consoles. Cage is now writing a monthly column for GameTap. That's not too surprising -- gaming sites all over are looking for well-known names and original voices to speak to gamers in a new way. Cage's column is actually pretty good. That ... is kind of surprising.
No, Cage's first column isn't going to change the way you look at gaming or anything, but the introduction managed to hold our interest with tales of motion-capping, fame-coping and Top Spin 2 addiction/domination. Whatever you think of the writing, you have to admit it's decidedly different from most of the nigh-indistinguishable game writing out there. For that, we're very grateful.

So, gamers are obese...
Fernando Rocker @ Jan 28th 2008 11:01PM
Speaking of obese... I miss phattie =(
DemonGSides @ Jan 29th 2008 12:17AM
No one else does.

I understand Fernando, everyone needs a fat friend.
They always makes us look better.
Garcian_Smith @ Jan 28th 2008 10:35PM
Well. That was a surprisingly good read. Not great, but certainly interesting. I'll keep a look for his reviews.
Trickob @ Jan 28th 2008 10:46PM
meh...
Brian Fantana @ Jan 28th 2008 10:47PM
Suprisingly pretty good.
refinedsugar @ Jan 28th 2008 10:54PM
I'm waiting for Shelton Benjamin's column myself ...
BananaBoat @ Jan 28th 2008 10:56PM
So TNA wrestling is "Pro" wrestling now? ....gah
JJ @ Jan 28th 2008 10:57PM
Well it is in the same way that WWE is "pro" wrestling
BananaBoat @ Jan 28th 2008 11:05PM
I was lamenting on how far we've come from the comparatively classy WCW. Hell, even the WWE is classier than the trash that people are calling "Pro Wrestling" now.
Fernando Rocker @ Jan 28th 2008 11:07PM
How about mexican lucha libre? I'm mexican, but even I know it sucks too.
lgndk11r @ Jan 28th 2008 11:10PM
How about Japanese 'puroresu'?
lgndk11r @ Jan 28th 2008 10:59PM
Man, if Chris Jericho or Paul London wrote a column...
BillNabors65 @ Jan 28th 2008 11:10PM
Surprisingly good. Nice job, Mr. Cage.
Lone Starr @ Jan 28th 2008 11:31PM
In other news, pro gamer starts wrestling column.
-_-
...tough crowd.
Deck @ Jan 28th 2008 11:49PM
Actually..the article is pretty good.
Though I don't know about the whole "recognizable name" thing when going with someone from wrestling. I guess it could just be me but... wrestling.. Ugh!

I'd have preferred an Ultimate Warrior blog. His websites ramblings makes Jack Thompson look sane. "Queerin' Don't Make The World Work".
JRM @ Jan 29th 2008 2:39AM
nah. The Warrior's comments on any publication other than his own is just asking for a lawsuit.
maverick_saturn_626 @ Jan 29th 2008 4:22AM
Oh dear, lol, Ronaldihno writing a games reveiw.
This game was really cool, I especially liked the fact you could use skills, just like me :)
ThornedVenom @ Jan 29th 2008 7:14AM
I wonder what kinds of games he likes: I don't highly regard most wrestling games.
Kizzle @ Jan 29th 2008 10:09AM
Christian's Peep-ulation approves. That photo is a bit fruity, though.
"Cristian?"
mrbigjonstud @ Jan 29th 2008 2:41PM
I'm a peep myself (since his wwe days) so it's cool that he has a video game article. good for him :)
