About Anthony Taormina

Anthony Taormina is an original member of the GameRant team, having been part of the publication for over 17 years. He coordinates content for all facets of the site and helps manage its social media, PR, and business relationships.

An owner of every console since Atari, Anthony is willing to try any video game, good or bad, but prefers the ones that involve a deep and engaging story. Anthony is a sucker for any game that has players wielding a fabled sword, but can still appreciate everything from a solid sports title to a game with a deep multiplayer experience. By eventually combining his love of video games with his skills in film, Anthony hopes to make Game Rant a fun place to explore all facets of pop culture.
