I was almost born with an NES under my arm and since then, playing has become a passion that has taken me here, to 3DJuegos, where I have been writing for more than 10 years and also serve as editor-in-chief. With more than 20 years of experience in video game journalism, I have been a big Nintendo fan since I was little, but having a PC in the late 90s also made me enjoy graphic adventures like Monkey Island, strategy games like Age of Empires or RPG like Baldur’s Gate. Movie fan, Star Wars mega fan and apprentice pianist, if you talk to me about Grim Fandango and I’ll buy you a beer. LinkedIn
