(AfroGamers.com) For a couple of months, I got back into Warframe, a third-person shooter from Digital Extremes.

(AfroGamers.com) In 1979, the Eagles released “I Can’t Tell You Why”. The song was a hit off their album The Long Run. That statement comes to mind when wondering what it is I love about Ubisoft games. They’re a studio in my Big 3 along with Nintendo and Bethesda as ...
(AfroGamers.com) Ubisoft’s 2012 release Assassin’s Creed III is a title with a mixed reaction and while I typically don’t check impressions on a game until I’ve finished it, ACIII was an interesting case because early on many were annoyed by the game. Now, I tend to enjoy any Assassin’s Creed ...
