Alex Van Aken

Video Editor

From real-time strategy games of the late 90s to MMORPGs of the mid-2000s and recent hits like Apex Legends, Alex has spent his life trying to find a better multiplayer game than Halo 2.

Loving brunch, reality dating shows, cooking, and acoustic songwriting, Alex Van Aken is probably the most basic editor on staff. But when he’s not producing videos or hosting podcasts, you can find him competing in a bevy of first-person shooters, testing his wits in immersive sims and stealth games, or checking out the latest MMO. Van Aken’s favorite games of all time include World of Warcraft, Halo, Animal Crossing, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and most recently, Deathloop.
