About ProFanboy

Hi, I'm Reza, and I've been playing video games since I was a kid. My first console was the original PlayStation (the gray one) and I spent countless hours playing Crash Bandicoot series and Spyro series. My second console was the PS2 Fat, and I completed all of the GTA series 100%. I created ProFanboy to express myself and share great content with other gamers.
