Matthew Kato has been a GI stalwart since 2000, starting out on the Game Informer website that came before the website that preceded this website you’re reading now! Kato has always been a lover of sports games, but has fit in more than enough time for everything from Metal Gear to Vagrant Story. Like most people back in the day, he went from the Atari 2600 to the NES, but he didn’t partake of the next round of consoles until his brother told him that there was an officially licensed football game called Madden that had to be played on a Sega Genesis. Hired in part because Andy McNamara thought that a four-year degree in Japanese meant he could speak the language fluently, Kato soon proved to be more talented at putting together the magazine’s news section – something he learned from GI luminary, the late Paul Anderson.
