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.

Casey’s Latest Reviews
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD Review
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD is well worth a play for those looking for sheer charm and puzzling adventures in equal measure; just don’t expect too many new twists and turns as you bust ghosts in the moonlight.
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble Review
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble sticks to its roots a little too closely, with its multiplayer mode coming off as more of a bonus than the main attraction.
SPY×ANYA: Operation Memories Review
Anya Forger’s adventures in SPY×ANYA: Operation Memories are well worth the time of any secret agent.
Still Wakes the Deep Review
Still Wakes the Deep is a truly immersive tale, but its linearity ultimately prevents it from reaching new heights.
Nightmare Kart Review
Nightmare Kart is positively dreamy, channeling the best kart racers to create something truly divine. While the emphasis on combat might lead to some unnecessary chaos, its addictive blend of speed and offense makes it worthy of all Hunters.
Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER Review
Read Only Memories: NEURODIVER provides a fantastic futuristic experience that we were all too eager to dive into. While we would have appreciated more runway with its brief tale, ES88’s hunt for the Golden Butterfly is well worth a trip down memory lane.
