About Samuel Guglielmo
I'm Sam. I have been playing video games since my parents brought home a PlayStation whenever that came out. Started writing for TechRaptor for 2016 and, somehow, they've yet to fire me. Instead, they promoted me to Reviews Editor, and now I edit all the reviews that show up on the site. It's a really neat job that I enjoy. Outside of TechRaptor, I also work for DreadXP, an indie horror games media site and publisher where I help edit scripts, do QA testing, and find new projects to publish. When I'm not at work I spend a lot of time reading and watching an unhealthy amount of really bad found footage horror movies. Bad Ben is my horror franchise of choice, and I refuse to ever change that point of view. The namesake of the Situational Awareness Mechanic in Bad Ben: The Game. That's not a joke.

The Callisto Protocol Review

Bound by Blades Review
Bound by Blades tries to combine wholesome aesthetics with a fast-paced boss rush, but bad bosses and wonky mechanics prevent this from really going anywhere interesting.

Gungrave G.O.R.E Review
Gungrave G.O.R.E promises to shake you to your Gungrave core, but mostly ends up as a Gungrave chore. Before long I was Gungrave bored of the Gungrave lore and my trigger finger was Gungrave sore. Here's hoping they can fix things up if we see a Gungrave four.
