Patrick O'Rourke

Technology Journalist

I became interested in video games, technology and writing at a young age while scouring the pages of retro gaming magazines like Nintendo Power and Electronic Gaming Monthly. 

I've interviewed a variety of tech industry executives, reviewed hundreds of games, covered GDC, E3, Gamescom, WWDC, iPhone launches, Samsung press conferences and various local Toronto technology press events. I've also done guest appearances on the CBC, CTV, AM640, as well as other TV and radio stations.  

Publications where my work can be found include MobileSyrup, BetaKit, The Canadian Video Game Awards, National Post, Financial Post, Post Arcade, PlayBoy and Gamesbeat as well as a wide range of of other platforms.

I currently work at MobileSyrup, Canada's largest independent tech news source, as the publication's managing editor, where I cover video games, smartphones, gadgets, virtual reality and augmented reality, as well as control the day-to-day editorial direction of the site.
