Eric Adams’s Summary

I have been in computer gaming since 1994. I have worked at some terrific companies (Eidos, Microsoft, Activision, THQ, DIRECTV). I am now working at Marvel as Sr. Games Manager helping to make kick ass Marvel games with talented partners on every viable platform

I have some terrific memories of my previous co-workers and working on over one hundred games in my career. I am huge fan of MLS soccer (soccer in general), I also appreciate a good coffee or Merlot while playing on Xbox Live.
