About Raúl Velásquez

Raul is an attorney and writer with a fervent passion for all things culture, gaming, tech, finance and languages. He firmly believes Marvel's Saturday morning cartoons led him to The Best War Games.

Fighting game enjoyer that hates labbing combos. On his spare time you can find him torturing himself with difficult games.

Favorite Games

I love though to beat games and vintage type platformers like Super Mario World, Mega Man or Donkey Kong Country. Also enjoy anything that puts a modern twist on that formula like Hollow Knight, Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair, Ori - The Will of the Wisps, or Celeste.

Other favorites are Elden Ring, Final Fantasy IX, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Zelda: A Link to the Past, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, early Assassin's Creed and the Splinter Cell series.

Favorite Movies

I love most of the classics and movies that make me think outside the box. Some favorites are The Godfather, Blade Runner, Her, Creed, Oldboy, Infernal Affairs, Ford vs. Ferrari, Pulp Fiction, Dunkirk, Jojo Rabbit, Fight Club, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Always willing to check out a hidden gem from South Korea, India, France, Italy, Honk Kong, or any other country.
 

Industry Focus

I am fascinated by the business side of things in film, gaming and TV. Always on the look out for new industry trends that help shape the media we consume around the world.

The only way back to the good old days of cinema and gaming is to follow the money!
