About The Act Man

From the publisher's feed

What's up everybody? This is The Act Man heeeere!! I talk about video games, new and old, what makes them AWESOME?! and what makes them BAD?!

I also love to analyze video game stories/storytelling and find out more about why we love certain stories and despise others.I got a soft spot for the Halo and Call of Duty.
