About Zainab Kaifi
Zainab is a writer, cinephile, and gamer—though that ranking depends entirely on the day’s mood swings. When she’s not writing for The Best War Games, she’s probably ugly crying over Dostoevsky (or multifandom fanfiction), getting emotionally wrecked by indie games, befriending feral cats, or spiraling over morally gray characters.
Favorite Games
I’m shamelessly sentimental, so my favorite games are basically a trip down my childhood—Age of Empires, Modern Warfare 2, Silent Hill 2, and KOTOR. Call it attachment issues, but nothing hits quite like the games that raised me.
Favorite Anime
Naruto, Berserk, and Vinland Saga have my whole soul, probably because I have a disturbing fondness for watching fate curb-stomp decent folks. If there’s heartbreak and betrayal, with a side of unimaginable suffering, I’m all the way in.
Favorite TV Shows
Hannibal is the best show in TV history, and I will gladly die on this hill.
