1UP's Shawn Elliott Splits for 2K Boston

Would you kindly read about the latest games writer to make the harrowing leap to development?

Elliott, Boston-bound.
Elliott, Boston-bound.
Earlier today, longtime Computer Gaming World...sorry, Games for Windows Magazine editor and current 1UP staffer Shawn Elliott filed a blog post revealing his intention to leave games editorial behind for the salt mines of game development.

On tonight's GFW Radio podcast, Elliott spilled the beans on his destination: 2K Boston, home of Ken Levine and (at least some of) the team that made BioShock. Elliott will be an associate producer on "the project," whatever that may be. This departure is right on the heels of GFW EIC Jeff Green's relocation to EA as a Sims producer in the last couple of weeks. It seems neither dude got the memo that making games requires you to work way harder than merely writing about them. Oops! In all seriousness, Elliott is a funny and talented writer; we wish him well and I personally look forward to his contributions to 2K Boston's next project.

You know what this means: Someone create a Shawn Elliott wiki! Green already has one. It's only fair.
