Hey there! I’m Bilawal, a humble hardware reviewer at WhatifGaming. I have a background in Software Engineering and tech, so my job here is pretty enjoyable. Getting to test out new gaming goodies and getting to play, I mean test, videogames during work hours? This is the life.
I’ve been gaming since 1996 when my uncle got me a PlayStation One for my birthday. From Dino Crisis to Gran Tourismo, I’ve played anything and everything my cousins could lend me. Moved to the PlayStation 2, then Xbox 360, and PlayStation 4, and now I own the holy trinity of consoles. As for the games I love, I’m an RPG fan through and through. Any game that has role-playing elements is a game made for me; yes, I even enjoyed The Crew. Cyberpunk? Starfield? Elder Scrolls? Persona? Hades? I’ve said yes to them all.
Tinkering with custom controllers, listening to the keystrokes of a mechanical keyboard, and yelling to test the noise cancelation quality of headphones are part of my work week. Any device I review actually gets used by me for at least a whole week. The bio here? It’s helping me test a new keyboard and mouse at the same time. Gaming gear reviewed by actual gamers is what we do here at WhatifGaming.

WHAT MAKES YOUR TOP FAVORITE GAME SO ENJOYABLE FOR YOU?
It’s Skyrim. Mod it, and it’s Skyrim with Thomas the Train as dragons. Play it on the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch, and it’s Skyrim on the train. Play it on Game Pass, and it’s suddenly Skyrim for free. Lastly, boot it on the PlayStation VR, and you are IN Skyrim. No matter where I play the game, I always end up being a stealth archer. Deep down, we all want to be wood elf archer thieves.
