About Us

Snackbar Games was formed in June 2002 by a small group of friends in San Antonio, Texas. We've grown by leaps and bounds over the years, merging with Disc Read Error in 2005 and eToychest in 2007. From 2005 to 2009, we were the home of the Snackbar Games Podcast (hosted my Mike Carabajal and Marco Ortega), and we've branched out into various fields from time to time, but our focus has always been to deliver quality game reviews and compelling features.

Graham Russell

Managing Editor

Since joining Snackbar in February 2007, Graham has reviewed games for the Wii, DS, 360, PS3, PC, Mac, PS2, PSP, iPhone, iPad and...there may have been others. It's hard to keep up. He has hosted multiple live webcasts for SBG and anchors the site's E3 coverage. He also has served as news editor, columnist and associate reviews and features editor. He's a sucker for local multiplayer, co-op and RPG elements in games of all sorts, and has a soft spot for gadgets old and new.

Chris Ingersoll

Staff Writer

Chris has been a reviewer for Snackbar since 2005, when the site merged with Disc Read Error. He has been a Nintendo fan ever since the days of Mega Man 2 and has fond memories of playing Atari 2600 games with his father before that; it is hard to remember a time in his life when he was not a gamer. Every Tuesday night he attends a local boardgaming group, which is the source of many Gaming Unplugged features here at Snackbar. 

Justin Last

Staff Writer

Justin is an avid fan of platformers, puzzle games, first-person shooters and board games. Favorites from each genre include Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, Borderlands and Ticket to Ride. When not playing games, he is a systems engineer, husband and soon-to-be father of four. Justin joined the site in 2007.

Shawn has written for Snackbar since August 2009, and helms the Snackbar Speculator column. When not looking for game industry news and rumors and writing reviews, he's a programmer and indie game developer.
