ANDREI DOBRA
Andrei Dobra is one of the new faces in the Softpedia News team. He believes video games are a fun way to relax after a day of hard work, especially if said work is actually... more gaming. Andrei is more of a PC gamer, an obvious fact if you have a look at his reviews.
He's quite a social person and enjoys a bit of amateur photography and sharing the results with close friends.
Personal motto: "Smile, tomorrow could be worse"
