Jim H. Moreno

Video Game Journalist

United States of America

My freelance writing / PC game journalist career began in 2003, when I joined The Wargamer website as an official contributor of game reviews. A few months later, I applied for and was accepted into the newly-formed Armchair General website as one of three team members, and helped form and launch the print magazine and website in 2004.

In 2007, I created the RoleCraft blog, which specialized in the art and craft of roleplaying in the World of Warcraft MMORPG. It was picked up by The WarCry Network soon after, and I wrote weekly and bi-weekly RoleCraft columns there until 2010. Duing that time, I expanded the scope of the column beyond World of Warcraft to include roleplaying in multiple MMORPGs. I also wrote other articles for WarCry, including their official review for the Lord of the Rings Online: Mines of Moria expansion.

I garnered the GameFront website as a client in 2011, and wrote PC video game strategy guides and walkthroughs for them until their close of business in 2014.

I accepted a part-time position with Alchemic Dream in 2014, becoming a member of their Community Management / Social Media teams. My first project was assisting Ubisoft with The Crew game’s forums and Facebook page.

I'm currently a Staff Writer at Inquisitr, the website for news worth sharing.

While continuing to seek more video game opportunities, I am also branching into the video production realm, teaching myself about making quality video game related videos for Youtube and Twitch.

I am available to work in any of the fields mentioned above. Please contact me via [email protected] to discuss opportunity details.
