Mo Mozuch is the former Gaming Editor for Newsweek magazine. His work has also been featured in Popular Science, Esquire, Player.One and Hard Drive. Now a proud papa with a lot less free time, he still loves a retro-style RPG, quirky indie games, and anything from Bethesda. He thinks the Yakuza franchise is criminally underrated and that hot dogs are sandwiches.
