About - Niko Almelor: Niko is a versatile and experienced writer familiar with long-form articles or creative prose. He started as a journalist, with articles published in magazines and newspapers. He is currently a freelance writer and editor. While he is comfortable with writing about any topic, he is most fond of talking about his passions-chief among them gaming. Niko can vividly remember the first videogame he played. It was a random weekend many, many weekends ago when his dad handed him a joystick (an ancient term for a controller) to play Super Mario Brothers 3. Since then, he has been on the constant lookout for any facet of a game that would give him that sense of wonder and amazement-be it a compelling story, an epic soundtrack, a random encounter, or a challenging boss. So far, he has found those things in series such as Super Mario, Monster Hunter, Grand Theft Auto, Dark Souls, among others.
