Michael Leri is a contributor at 12DOVE. He prides himself on playing and finishing as many video games as he can in all sorts of genres from shooters to platformers to weird indie experiments. There’s always something to learn from rolling credits, and that thirst for knowledge — and perhaps strange obsession with collecting Platinum trophies — is mostly what drives him. He’s also written for a handful of websites including Game Informer, ComicBook, GameRevolution, PlayStation LifeStyle, ComingSoon, Game Rant, and USgamer.
