From Frustrated Gamer to Published Writer

Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what one of our editors, Muhammad, has to say:

“I was so frustrated about Need For Speed 2 that I had to write about it. On a whim, I asked my IRL friend Ali if he thought it could have a home on the gaming site he contributed to. For the past few years, writing for Archivebate has given me the opportunity to hone my writing skills, review games both large and small, and make new friends with kind, funny, and passionate gamers. Even though I still haven’t given Need For Speed a second chance, I’ll always be grateful it brought me here!”
