Julien Lefevre

Julien Lefevre is a gamer from Quebec who writes for Hitbox Magazine in both French and English, which comes pretty naturally when you grow up in Montreal switching between the two. He keeps a close eye on live service games, MMOs and indie releases, and he also handles the site's reviews, always based on his own hours with the game. His rule is simple: be honest about what works and what doesn't, and never oversell a game, even one he's been waiting on for months.
