The Man, The Myth, The Legend – Gamesblow
Page 1 2
It seems these days that not one of the console manufacturers can keep a secret. With supposed “insiders” leaking tidbits left and right, many have come, and many have gone. One, however, still lurks in the trenches, touting his accuracy of “predictions”, so much that he has named his up and coming site akin to that of the most famous prophet the world has ever known.
Gamesblow is a name both loved and hated. According to his now defunct twitter page, Gamesblow is set to launch his new website Gamestradomus sometime soon. Quite a bold name choice, as he is looking at himself in the same light as the famed prophet Nostradamus. All that’s left before the launch of his new site is the alleged green-light from Sony’s upper management.
Gamesblow isn’t just claiming to be an insider. He alleges that he works deep in the bowels of Sony R&D, and is privy to a variety of “top secret” information. His claims include everything from a Sony/3rd party developer striking an exclusive deal, to claiming to have pictures of unannounced, unconfirmed games. Gamesblow, if the real deal, has a lot to offer the gaming community.
There are a few glaring questions left unanswered:
- Why would Sony knowingly allow an employee to leak info?
- Where does Gamesblow find time to run a website as well as R&D for Sony?
- What exactly would his job title be at Sony?
- How high is Gamesblow in the Sony food chain?
- Who is Gamesblow?
Gamesblow, the self appointed #1 PlayStation sensation, known throughout all gaming forums including GameFaqs, official PlayStation forums, N4G, name it and he has trolled it. He claims 98% accuracy on his “predictions”.
Although Gamesblow hasn’t been right nearly 98% of the time, his most glaring mishaps include the Tears for Blood incident, as well as the more recent Lock and Key, which put even insomniacs to sleep. A broken clock works two times a day, and Gamesblow has been right on a few occasions. Tekken losing its PS3 exclusivity and becoming available for Xbox 360 comes to mind.
On his MySpace blog, he enjoyed a good following of people ready to soak up his “predictions”. The blog has long since been deleted, but remnants or copy/paste quotations of the past still roam the internet with the Gamesblow name/blog attached to it as the source of the info being spouted.
Digging deeper into the myth that is Gamesblow, a whois lookup of his new, upcoming website’s domain name revealed some interesting information. Gamestradomas.com which is the site Gamesblow has been promoting for a sometime now is registered to a Sabian Greenly. As you can plainly see, the email address of the domain owner is Gamesblow’s email address.

Sounds like a GameStop employee if you ask me, but I can honestly say I have NEVER heard of this guy until today. Which I guess you could say is strange, considering I follow gaming news and such.

Yeah, I’d say this “sony employee” is confused about who sign[ed] his paychecks. I see a pink sleep, and probably a court order in his future.

i remember him attacking Sev cause Project Trico wasnt even close to what Team Ico was actually making for the PS3, and Sev was just hyping everyone, fooling them with old stuff. One week later, Team Ico shows off The Last Guardian, and my oh my, it was pretty close.

He says right here that he is a GameStop employee:

Isn’t this the guy that claims to be a “professional troll”? I remember him constantly posting crap on the PlayStation.Blog and a bunch of other sites.

First off, I have gone back and forth with gamesblow from 1up.com to N4g, over the internet bashing each other using virtual stabs at each other. Was pointless, but as much of a PS3 insider, you claim he was….He was actually a Xbox Fanboy UNTIL he finally bought a PS3. Ironic really. Gotta love consumerism anyways, here’s his dark secret:
Gamesblow = Sk8rboy.
If you are extremely bored, look up the history of skaterboy and surfergirl and their supposed video games predictions. Richard Allen, you should do some more research, this guy isn’t worth an article. He was just a game tester, in which probally got paid minimum wage. I am pretty sure he has a new internet alias by now. Nothing to see here lets move on, before he catches wind of this and his E-PEN*S grows 5 inches.

Well I thought it only fair the rest of the gaming community know what this guy was about.

@Omegasyde,
My god, I still remember Surfergirl’s supposed “leak” of Resistance 2 screenshots. I kept staring at them because they were actually early development photos of Resistance 1 from several years prior.
Painful.

July 8th, 2009 at 11:51 AM

July 8th, 2009 at 12:30 PM
I had run ins with a Gamesblow on the PS Blog..Big time Xbox fanboy ..Then I keep complaining to Jeff to get rid of him and he did.
Probably using another alias on there..Troll
Sony and it’s studios already have enough leaks as it is.
July 8th, 2009 at 4:33 PM
Well it is interesting isn’t it?
July 8th, 2009 at 4:50 PM
