About Matthew Mendisana

Matthew Mendisana is a journalist and writer with a passion for storytelling and a love for games and movies. That love carried him through college, while not letting his Autistic Spectrum hold him back. His first big break was having the honor of working as a film critic for “Reel Reviews,” leading to the publication of over 110 Movie Reviews. He also spent time as the lead editor for the Coastal Breeze News. Just be warned, give him a game or movie with a good story and an outstanding soundtrack, and he’ll likely talk your ear off with facts. He's also an avid reader of H. P. Lovecraft.

Favorite Games

His favorite game of all time would be Fallout New Vegas, with Doom, Dragon Age, Metal Gear Solid, Halo, and the original The Mass Effect Trilogy ranking in his top ten list.

When it comes to genres, his favorite is RPGs and FPSs, though he’s been getting into JRPGs as well.

Favorite Console

The first console he ever purchased with his hard-earned money was an original Xbox. Every generational version since has been added to his collection, but if you were to ask which he has the fondest memories of, it would be the Xbox 360.

That was the console that gave him Halo 3, and introduced him to franchises like Fallout and Mass Effect.

Industry Focus

Matthew works as a contributing list writer for Hardcore Gamer. His main goal is to explore individual topics and offering fun information for its readers. That also means ensuring the grammar is flawless, and the selected images for said lists are eye catching and fitting for the game/article in question.
