And sadly, Crecente has made it. Yep, gaming's pirate journo is on a list that was compiled by Joystiq's Kyle Orland and includes some of the industries best and brightest scribes—like Gamasutra's Simon Carless, MTV's Steve Totilo, Insert Credit's Brandon Sheffield and Kotaku's former, but now 1Up's Luke Smith.
