In JRPG Quests You Just Can’t Avoid the Boonies.

(AfroGamers.com) In many JRPGs, you have the villages and small towns that have their chiefs and their own problems. It’s all part of the main quest and sub quest approach to roleplaying games. However, I’ve always had questions about these villages. In classic JRPGs, there often wasn’t enough space for players to get the lore of the settlement. It was merely there way before the main character... [Read more of this review]

The Elder Scrolls Series: Skyrim vs. Oblivion – Which Game Had the Better Factions?

(AfroGamers.com) In Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, what groups did you align with? Sure, you had the Imperials and the Stormcloaks who comprised of the main story’s primary forces—and usually I picked Stormcloaks because of the armor—but what other groups did you join? The obvious answer is “All of them” since you could join them all and the benefits were pretty good. One thing I hated was that... [Read more of this review]

(AfroGamers.com) Let’s take a departure from isekai and martial arts manhua and manhwa and look at something very different in Monster Pet Evolution. It’s not unusual to read a manhua or manhwa series and see that the main character has gained a pet of some sort. Often times, it’s a mythological beast that they get in a weakened state or as a child. The main character then uses resources to raise... [Read more of this review]

3 Reasons Why Final Fantasy VII Is NOT The Best Final Fantasy.

(AfroGamers.com) Something that I really hate is when something is put on a pedestal for the wrong reasons. The initial impact of a game, how it made you feel at the time, or even what was going on in the world around that time are all things that could cloud your views of how good a game truly is. I think that Final Fantasy VII is the perfect example of a game that falls into this category. People... [Read more of this review]

Dragon Ball’s Lore Holds the Keys to Many Potential Prequels.

(AfroGamers.com) Dragon Ball is one of my all-time favorite media franchises and it has amassed over 30 years of lore since 1989.

There Are New Stories Left to Tell and Old Stories Never Told Akira Toriyama tends to move forward when telling the Dragon Ball story.

Destiny 2: The Witch Queen – Get It or Don’t?

(AfroGamers.com) On February 22, Bungie dropped the long-anticipated expansion for its acclaimed open world action MMO shooter, Destiny 2. Since the original Destiny, I have always been interested in what they were going to add next, and even when things got repetitive, I still played. Every three months, on day one, I would happily cough up my $30 just to get my hands on the new content. When they... [Read more of this review]

Dragon Ball Z Was Almost 300 Episodes But Took Over Five Years to Finish.

(AfroGamers.com) In the fall of 1995, I was a 10-year-old youngster when Dragon Ball first aired on the our then staticky, unreliable UPN affiliate station. Anime as a whole was about to see a major boom in the next few years but I’m guessing UPN was the best option for a cartoon that wasn’t proven in the U.S yet. The Debut Run of Dragon Ball in the U.S Dragon Ball ran the first arc—the Pilaf... [Read more of this review]

Let’s Take A Look Back at the Adam Jensen Saga of the Deus Ex Games.

I always enjoyed films like Mission: Impossible, Golden Eye, and shows such as Nikita, Burn Notice, and The Blacklist. As a result, games that featured these themes have always been something I would not pass up. Let’s look at the Adam Jensen Saga of one of my favorite espionage... [Read more of this review]
