I was almost born with an NES under my arm, and since then gaming has become a passion that has brought me here to 3DJuegos, where I have been writing for over 10 years and also serve as Editor-in-Chief. With over 20 years of video game journalism experience, I’ve been a huge Nintendo fan since childhood, but owning a PC in the late ’90s also allowed me to enjoy graphic adventures like Monkey Island, strategy games like Age of Empires or RPGs like Baldur’s Gate. Movie fan, mega-Star Wars fan, and aspiring pianist, if you talk to me about Grim Fandango, I’ll buy you a beer. LinkedIn
