Matt Casamassina (born December 22, 1975 in California) is a video game journalist working for IGN. He is the author of many reviews and previews of Nintendo games,[1] and the editor-in-chief of the IGN Nintendo Team. He resides in Los Angeles, California, is married and has two daughters, Zoey and Fiona Jade. Fiona was his wife's choice and was taken from the name of the princess in Shrek. Jade, her middle name, was Matt's choice and is taken from the main character in Beyond Good and Evil.

Casamassina started in 1997 as editor of the N64.com website, which soon became the Nintendo 64 section of IGN.[2]

He also appeared on the G4 program Attack of the Show! as a guest[3] and as a character model in the N64 video game Perfect Dark. He, among with Craig Harris, Chadd Chambers and Peer Schneider, has become one of the main characters in the IGN-published webcomic Cubetoons. He also became part of an internet meme known as "Reaction Guys" or "Gajin 4Koma".[4]
