Ben Brosofsky is a writer for Screen Rant and covers video games and tabletop. He graduated from Vanderbilt University with a Bachelor's in Cinema & Media Arts. Writing serves as a much-needed distraction from tackling a backlog of Steam games that will never be surmounted.

Industry Focus

Ben is a Gaming writer for Screen Rant, covering Gaming Features, Gaming Lists, and Gaming Reviews for both video games and tabletop RPGs. Action-adventure titles tend to take up the majority of his video gaming coverage, but virtually every genre is of interest. PC, Nintendo, and Playstation are all welcome.

Favorite Media

Some of Ben's favorite games are The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Portal 2, Super Mario 64, Dishonored, and Tales of Symphonia. Indie picks include A Hat in Time, N++, Hollow Knight, and The Banner Saga, and Super Castlevania IV and Genesis Aladdin are a couple of 16-bit standouts.
