Bloodworth’s Role is Changing
After 30 years of covering games, 18 of them at GameTrailers and Easy Allies, it’s time for me to try something new. This December, I will be joining the team at Ukiyo Studios and moving to more of a background role at Easy Allies.I’ve been on the job hunt for quite a while, talking to dozens of people throughout the industry to explore my options. By this summer, it started to feel like I was narrowing in on what I’d want to do and getting into the right circles. Then at PAX West, I met O...

Turkey Nominations!
Greetings, since next week is Thanksgiving, I'm looking to continue our tradition of naming the Top Turkeys of the year. (No particular number.) However, this year I'm also asking you to nominate any moments, news stories, companies, or even Allies that may qualify. The general definition of what counts as a "turkey" is somewhat open to interpretation, but generally we're looking for moments that would elicit a facepalm. For instance, allegedly, the CEO of Krafton asked ChatG...
Love and Respect for the Nov 21st Podcast
Greetings, it's that time of the week to collect your submissions for the next podcast. We've got a lot happening with The Game Awards nominations and an Xbox Partner Preview on Thursday.

And if you haven't already seen, this week's group stream will be Thursday afternoon rather than Tuesday just due to some scheduling things that came up.Type your question, topic, or game in the comments below...

New Website Alert
Hello, we just pushed the button to publish the all new easyallies.comAt a glance, it might look like nothing's changed, but the whole site has been rebuilt by Isaiah Smith with a more modern back end. The old site, built by Brent Phillips almost 10 years ago, still ran well most of the time, but if anything did go wrong, it would be difficult for anyone other than Brent to go in and fix things without putting in a significant amount of time digging around its outdated code. Isaiah will be h...
