Brian Crecente, Justin and Griffin McElroy, Arthur Gies, and James Etherington-Smith. These are big names in the world of game journalism editing, and they’re now also big names in the hot new game journalism thing, Vox Games.<\/p>\n

Except James, he’s still here at MyGaming – where we all love him, don’t we, Quinton? We do. [We do.]<\/em><\/p>\n

Vox Games is the new gaming portal of Vox Media, the people behind tech news network The Verge<\/a>. The team of ex-Kotaku and Joystiq journos is joined by former MTV Games editor, Russ Frushtick, former UGO Games editor, Chris Plante, and former Escapist editor, Russ Pitts.<\/p>\n

It’s like Voltron, only it’s made of gaming editors and writers so I’m not sure it would be much good at defending the universe unless it was in a video game. Alternatively, it could be like Sephiroth’s Reunion, and all the parts of an alien being are being called together in one place to take over the world.<\/p>\n

It’s not exactly clear for the moment what Vox Games is planning to do with its recently assembled team of superjournos, but in the meantime, you can follow @VoxGames on Twitter for up-to-the-second updates on what’s what.<\/p>\n
