Old Man Murray (OMM) is a UGO Networks[1][2] computer game commentary and reviews site, known for its highly irreverent and satiric tone. Founded in 1997, it was written and edited by Chet Faliszek and Erik Wolpaw.[3] Old Man Murray was critical of games that received strong reviews elsewhere,[4] Common targets of OMM news updates included John Romero[5] and American McGee.[6] Old Man Murray was a significant early influence in both the world of game development and internet comedy, and is often considered to have "helped birth online games journalism".[3][7][8][9][10]
