About Casey Scheld
Casey Scheld has been playing video-games since 1991, during the 16-bit days of Sonic the Hedgehog (still a fan to this day!). After renting a SEGA Genesis from Blockbuster, he quickly became a fan of video games and became a regular at the local Golfland arcade. Street Fighter II, Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, Dance Dance Revolution Extreme, and the big red Neo-Geo MVS were regular staples, even to the point of him investing in a metal dancing pad and making a mini–Neo Geo arcade cabinet of his own!
Since then, he’s turned his love of video games into a passion project. He previously worked with Frozen Codebase on Jam City Rollergirls (working alongside professional roller derby girls) and Konami on BurgerTime: World Tour. He also served as a Community Manager at the gaming startup Raptr from 2011 to 2014, working with Blizzard, AMD, and Ubisoft.
While he does gravitate toward fighting games and is a true-blue Sonic fan, he is especially drawn to the indie gaming scene. From stock market-based anime visual novels to new-school old-school titles, he truly appreciates the creativity that comes with the space.
Casey At Gamers Heroes
Casey joined Gamers Heroes in 2012, writing more than 7,000 articles in the process. In that time, he has interviewed chiptune band Anamanaguchi, Hidetaka “Swery65” Suehiro, Goichi “Suda51” Suda, and Atari CEO Wade Rosen.
Casey handles the daily video game news beat and social media channels for Gamers Heroes as Managing Editor and Social Media Director. He also handles correspondence with gaming companies alongside Blaine Smith, and can also be seen at events like GDC, PAX West, and CES.

Anger Foot Review
Anger Foot’s fast and frantic pace is just what the podiatrist ordered. Though its bite-sized levels and twitchy gameplay aren’t for everyone, those who like to go on the offensive and nail the perfect run will enjoy stepping foot in this new territory.
Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked Review
Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked features platforming greats that are absolute must-plays, but the overall package is bare bones. It’s great to see Sparkster and his jetpack make a return, but this awesome opossum deserves so much more.
