About Dmitry Lapunov

Dmitry Lapunov is a video game writer and journalist based in Minsk, Belarus. A passionate gamer at his heart, Dmitry’s been enjoying video games since mid-nineties before moving on to a more professional kind of interaction with the gaming industry. His career started back in 2006 in a local newspaper. Since that very time, he's been working with various gaming media outlets covering the hottest topics in the gaming industry. He's currently a writer on The Best War Games.

Favorite Games

As an old-timer, I prefer video games from the early 2000s era. My favorites are TES: Morrowind, Battlefield 1942, and Hitman Contracts—and this line-up has pretty much predetermined my taste in games. As for the recent releases, I absolutely adore Outer Wilds and wish I could forget about it to play it once again from scratch.

Favorite Console

While I do enjoy modern consoles and have a PS4 Pro, my warmest memories are those of my childhood when I played on my Sega Genesis Model 2 after school. And before school, too. Basically, as often as I possibly could.

Proudest Gaming Achievement

Being extremely good at Battlefield 4. In fact, so good that I got falsely accused of cheating and even banned on multiple community servers. Good times!
