About Edgar Wulf

Edgar writes evergreen articles for Android Police, which includes lists and guides to your favorite Android games and apps. After getting a degree in programming for Android OS, Edgar realized that he prefers talking about games to actually making them.

Before joining Android Police, he wrote for gaming outlets such as GameSkinny, and TheXboxHub, and continues to cover tech on CyberPunks.com and ROR Magazine. He also covers his favorite games on his blog: Made in Arcade.

On a more personal side of things, Edgar rejects cookies, unless they're white chocolate chip, and has an unhealthy relationship with coffee. He thinks that Digimon are way cooler than Pokémon and is willing to die on that hill.
