No Holds Barred MMO Reviews with Comedic Commentary
LOS ANGELES--(Business Wire)--
ZAM, LLC (ZAM) today announced the launch of its new web series The BFF Report.
The BFF Report offers viewers an unfiltered look at some of the MMO industry`s
most popular and anticipated games. Each month, Mike "Fony" Bailey will focus on
a new game, which will be dissected in four weekly segments airing on ZAM every
Thursday. Mike will provide the audience with a snapshot of what they can expect
from a game including: character creation, starting zones, special features, PVP
and other key game play elements. 

"It`s an amazing opportunity to be able to collaborate with ZAM and connect with
such a highly qualified and engaged audience of gamers," said Mike "Fony"
Bailey. "The BFF Report provides a great platform to deliver information that
has been excluded from developer press write ups and other gamer reviews. It
allows me to offer an unbiased analysis of all the tools that are essential to a
players` experience when starting a new MMO." 

The BFF Report premiere webisodes will focus on Cryptic`s Champions Online and
set the stage for Mike`s unbiased and no holds barred review style. Each episode
is between four and five minutes and builds on the previous week`s content. 

"What we liked about Mike`s approach is that reviews are not only educational
and insightful, but entertaining, as well. Mike`s energy and enthusiasm are
infectious and are sure to keep audiences captivated," said Ryan Bohmann,
President, Content Division for ZAM. "We felt that The BFF Report was the
perfect vehicle to extend ZAM`s industry expertise to video."

and content. It is free to use and has additional premium offerings available to
