Today is a sad day for "CGW" fanatics as Editor-in-Chief Jess Green leaves 1up for good for a new Job for a spot at EA working on "The Sims" series. Jeff green started at Computer Gaming World as Editor-in-Chief in 2001 taking over for George Jones. On April 8th of 2008 the previously renamed CGW, Games for Windows: The Official Magazine, ended it's 27 year run after Ziff Davis Publications filed for bankruptcy. Green then became the Editor-in-Chief of the PC section of 1up.com.

So now, almost exactly 5 months afterwards, Jeff Green leaves 1up forever so it seems. He is going to work with EA on the Sims Series in a "local" EA office, approx. 70 miles from his current residence. (According to Greenspeak, Jeff's blog) Jeff also made his 'last' appearance on the GFW Radio Podcast, in the first ever video edition of the normally Audio podcast. You can view the streaming videos and download the files at 1up.com here.

Overall, Jeff Green will be missed and I hope to see many great things come from EA with his help. If you would like to keep up on Jeff Green news be sure to subscribe to his blog (Link Above).
