About Christine Mendoza

Christine Mendoza is a freelance writer from Canada with an avid love for video games and anime. Formerly an indie game reviewer, Christine enjoys not only playing video games but writing about what makes them such a treasured medium. Specializes in horror games and lifestyle sims with cute animal neighbors.

Favorite Games

While I can't bring myself to pick a single game, my go-to favorite series are Animal Crossing, Resident Evil, and Metal Gear Solid. If I'm not itching for a good scare, you can find me kicking back on my Animal Crossing island! Honorable mentions include Stardew Valley, WarioWare, Katamari, Jazzpunk, and Skyrim.

Industry Focus

Turning my interests and passion into a career I could truly enjoy has always been my goal. While at TheBestWarGames, I naturally lean towards creating fun, engaging, think-pieces about my favorite games or anime series. Turning an interesting or unexplored aspect of a popular game or show into an easy read is my specialty.

Favorite Console

Growing up, I always had the privilege of having the newest gaming console, all thanks to my older brother. While I may have clocked most of my gaming hours on my beloved PS4, I'll always have a special place in my heart for the GameCube as it was the first console I was able to truly call my own.
