E3 2010: Phoenix Interviews AC:B producer Vincent Pontbriand
June 19, 05:03 PM

I just got back from an amazing E3. Now that the madness is finally over it’s time to recuperate, but before I do I wanted to share with you some of my highlights of E3 that made this exhaustion well worth it. Besides meeting some mainstream celebrities such as Jason “Mayhem” Miller, Jon Heder, and Richard Branson, the real celebrities in my eyes were the developers behind the magic of Ubisoft’s video games. Here’s an interview I did with Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood producer, Vincent Pontbriand. He shares with us all the details about Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood and the new multiplayer system that has been added to the Assassin’s Creed franchise.

Faith Harrison, also known as Phoenix from the all-girl gaming team the Frag Dolls, is a competitive gamer hired by Ubisoft.  Faith is originally from Boston, Massachusetts and now lives in Katy, Texas with her husband and four year old son. 

Faith started gaming at a young age and has always been competitive. Her father introduced her to Load Runner on the original Apple computer, and then she quickly branched out into games such as Doom and Myst. When Halo hit the streets, her focus turned to FPS and console gaming. Her gaming passion was taken to a new level with the introduction of Xbox Live where she spent hours on end in clan matches, playing with friends, and competing professionally through MLG and Cevo. 

The impact of Xbox Live on Faith’s life goes beyond her gaming career. She met her husband while playing online, and now they play games as a family with their son Tyler. Her original gaming focus was FPS, but now she spend thirty minutes per day on quality family game time teaching her son to be a mini beast in games such as Super Mario, TMNT, Mario Cart, Petz, and Indiana Jones Legos. 

Faith has been a competitive gamer for the past six years. She started competing in local LAN tournaments, on Teamcompete.com and Gamebattles.com, then in tournaments through Cevo.com, finally joining the MLG Pro Circuit in 2007 and 2008. 

Currently in the process of completing her degree in BS in Computer Science, Faith is a Computer technician at a local computer company in Houston, TX when not doing Frag Doll duties.

Faith’s passions in life are her family, and gaming!
