Longtime writer and editor Jason Brookes has passed away.

Brookes was an instrumental part of the Super Nintendo-focused magazine Super Play's early days, and landed his words and thoughts on a number of print publications throughout his career, including the magazine Edge where he was an editor for a number of years.
