I did a search for this and couldn't find anything so I apologize in advance if this has already been posted. I clicked on IGN's review for Spore and found that it was written by Jason Ocampo, who wrote for GS. Anyone know how long he's been at IGN for? This one was totally news to me.

I think he left GameSpot for IGN around late February.

I knew he left GS a while ago, but I didn't know he went to IGN right away. Learn something new everyday.

I really respect Ocampo's work and his style of reviewing, he's got elegant writing. But that man as a really fucking annoying voice that comes out from the nose. It's a very personnal opinion but when he talks, i'd rather hear fingers on a chalkboard.

Jason Ocampo is awesome, and yes, he has been working at IGN for a while now.
They announced his taking of the Editor-in-Chief position for IGN PC on GameScoop, which I will admit I was like O_O when I heard it.
But I suppose it's turned out alright.

I don't mind his voice much. I think the quality of his voice in his reviews have come a long ways since his early days at GS. Compared to his early days, when his reviews sounded unrehearsed, awkward and jumbled together, his most recent Spore review on IGN sounded pretty smooth and professional.

Jason Ocampo was an amazing PC editor for Gamespot, he did such a good job in keeping us all up to date and his passion for the platform was a great thing to see when so many reviewers seem to prefer console gaming. Sorry to the Staff at GiantBomb but so far not much PC talk on their podcasts and news articles and this makes me sad because as a PC gamer i want to hear more about my chosen platform!

Yeah, I think the last review he did on GS was SIns of a Solar Empire.

He was my favorite editor from gamespot. I'm like the only one, though...everyone here prays to Kasavin, jeff, vinny, brad, or ryan, but this guy had some excellent reviews and as a PC gamer he had the most relevance to me.

Jason Ocampo is a great review and he''ll bea great edition to IGN, plus he's one of the few gamecritics who did a right review on Crysis.

Why? I'm not reluctant to express my deep appreciation for the damn best game reviewer out there - Jason O'Campo.

I didn't know about this until the panel video of the reunion tour either, surprised me. But yeah, Ocampo is great and knows his stuff. Just too bad he had to go work for IGN. But I'm sure editor-in-chief of the PC IGN is a pretty sweet position.
