Short Bio:
Hi, my name is Jack. I used to read all these other video game sites religiously until I discovered the truth behind them. They all took money for their reviews and regurgitated what the press relations told them. I created Play4Real to put a stop to that and provide gamers a source of truth.
Currently Playing:
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask.

    Why are you guys so awesome?

    • Jack says:

      We delve for the truth and are not swayed by the industry titans who wish to corrupt those who report on true video game news.

  2. Silver says:

    Where do you find these hard hitting facts that no other site or news source has the stones to mention? Do you do your own research or do you have a source?

    • Jack says:

      We do our own research that many other places refuse to do. They wait on official press releases or other news sites to do the work for them. Many sites also do not hire translators for the news that comes out of Japan as well. The Japanese gaming world is far larger than most can imagine and the information that pours out is far faster than what we can read.

    Might you be willing to let us in on how many hits P4R gets? I’ve always been curious since I’m a daily visitor.

  5. Bob says:

    Is this site legit?

  6. Garrison says:

    How do you get all these amazing news breakthroughs?

    • Jack says:

      Hundreds of video game news stories fall through the cracks every day. We catch as many of them as we can to report to you, the reader. Our readers deserve only the best news, not regurgitated press releases or fluff pieces.

  7. Fiddler says:

    From what I’ve read, no they’re not. They don’t source their information while making claims that are highly unlikely.

    Probably just out for attention and/or money.

  8. Tamih says:

    Do you think gaming will ever die?

  9. Erik says:

  13. Greg says:

    For all of you amazing authors:

    What would be your personal favorite console of all time???

  14. Austin Rolling says:

    Jack I read your article about the sony and microsoft removing their leaderboards. I noticed that you did not post any sources, name the representative who spoke on behalf of sony and microsoft, or mention the event at which this occurred. I’m doing a school project on Sony and was ready to use this site as a source, but theres not enough information to add credibility to this article. If you could provide me with more information like where this event occurred, the name of the rep, and so on. Any information that you can provide would be helpful.

    • Jack says:

      I attended the event personally. I don’t have the details on me right now. Hard-hitting video game journalism requires a lot of note taking and I’m swimming in notes right now. If you give me a few months, I can give you all the details you need.

  15. Ben Kapferer says:

    Do you consider Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing the greatest video game of all time?

    • Jack says:

      No. But I will say this, I have found more enjoyment in that game than hundreds of garbage games that populate mobile devices.

  16. Haitu says:

    Talking about mobile games, what’s your favourite one?

    • Jack says:

      I don’t know if I have a favorite but I still have Puzzle and Dragons installed. I don’t really play it anymore though.

  17. Will you ever write a critique on BattleToads?

  18. Jarvis says:

    I heard the next Xbox will support a Free to Play model for the system itself plus all games.

    Question: When will Loom 2 be released?

  19. Campaigne says:

    I appreciate your contributions to the gaming community – this is my first stop for the latest news!

    Is anyone who commented this post (exept for Albert Einstein) a real person or are they just you praising yourself?

    I have a question for Jack. What color is the underwear I’m currently wearing?

  25. Gabriel says:

    Are the news you post here real or just for the lolz?
    The reason I am asking is because you rarely have any sources and the news is always so outrageous.

    Visiting your webpage is kind of like watching a magic act.
    You are quite sure it’s just smoke and mirrors but it seems so real that you WANT to believe it anyway.

  26. Ano nymus says:

    Nope. I, and I think 5 other people here are real. Now you’re just flat out lying, ’cause you’re afraid to answer my question. Just admit it, Jack. Admit, and we can all laugh together about your satire.

  27. Ano nymus says:

    Then next time you attend a meeting, panel, etc. RECORD IT! Then, I will believe you.

  28. ano nymus says:

    proof it

  29. Albert Einstein says:

    Jack: You’re dead wrong
    There is no W,R and G in “On” learn to spell.

  30. ICU says:

    What do you use to record?

  31. Anonymous says:

    Why are PC gamers such elitests?
    Why is it that Sony likes to overprice their shit?
    Why does the Xbox One look like a pike of snake diddy?
    Why is the Wii U the BEST CONSOLE EVER! Is it because of the good exclusives like ZombiU and Nintendo Land? Maybe its because of its awesome Miiverse system? My favorite part is the Gamepad, you can’t spell RevolUtionary without the Gamepad.

  32. Ryan says:

    Just came here to say a few things.

    1) Your method of “journalism” is horrendous; never citing sources, openly cherry picking information, and being completely biased

    2) Your writing is bad and you should feel bad

    3) As for anyone wondering if these are real, all I can say is that THIS post is real and honest

    4) Finally, are you a professional or just some underground wizard of information and note taking?

    • Jack says:

      1. I am my own source. I do the work other journalists refuse to do.
      2. You’re not a professional writer. You use a meme to denigrate my work? Get out.
      3. Thank you for saying that these are real.
      4. Yeah, I am a professional.
