Killscreen
"Founded by a former Wall Street Journal culture reporter, Kill Screen is a videogame arts and culture company.  At its heart, we're interested in the intersection between games, play, and other seats of culture from art to music to design. 

To that end, we publish a website and a magazine as well as organize events such as our groundbreaking Arcade at the Museum of Modern Art, film festival with Rooftop Films, and programming for the New York Film Festival.  We've teamed up with writers from GQ, Esquire, the New Yorker, Colbert Report and others and the press has been great so far -- Wired, Ars Technica, and NPR have praised us and the New Yorker called us "the McSweeney's of interactive media."  TIME said our writing was so "polished that they might help convince doubters that games are worth taking seriously."- Killscreen

It’s written by four of Britain’s top games journalists, and one of America’s, and it aims to cover everything from the latest breaking stories about the biggest releases to esoterica from the format’s obscurest peninsulas."- Rock Paper Shotgun
