Dale North
Senior Editor
dale.north@venturebeat.com

I'm Dale, Senior Editor at GamesBeat. I've been writing about video games for about 12 years now. Based in the Bay Area, you'll usually find me in our San Francisco office where I'm probably going nuts over the newest role-playing and strategy games. But I love cover it all, from puzzle games to MMOs, on every platform, from mobile to PC to console. I get really excited about portable games, though. Really excited.

When I'm not writing about games I'm usually recording and performing music, being snobby about tea, or hanging out with my Pembroke Welsh Corgi.

Ethics: I adhere to and fully support VentureBeat’s ethics policy.
