From Michael Klappenbach:
With the Computer Action Games site at About.com, it's my goal to provide you with information on the latest computer games, unbiased reviews and game recommendations.
While I have a passion for video games, computers and technology I feel that it is also important to step away from the computer. As an avid cyclist and runner I have trained, completed, and finished 6 Ironman triathlons, 3 individual marathons and was a certified USAT Level 1 Triathlon coach.
