(AfroGamers.com) Nintendo could have blown this one up to twice the size. They chose not to, and that choice is pretty much the whole point. Think back to 1998, when the original hit the Nintendo 64. None of us were out here counting square miles. What stuck was the feeling ...
(AfroGamers.com) Elder Scrolls is a franchise where anything magic, supernatural or paranormal can exist and often overlap. I’ve always been interested in the paranormal aspect of TES because Bethesda worked on it over the years to make it a path worth exploring. Case in point: vampires and werewolves in Tamriel. ...
(AfroGamers.com) Last year, we went into five games that warrant a sequel with Obsidian’s Alpha Protocol being one of the titles. Published by Sega, AP was very much an Obsidian RPG in execution featuring a social aspect that is largely missing from many RPGs. You have a series like Persona ...
(AfroGamers.com) So Hood Warfare 2 dropped on October 8, and my timeline split clean down the middle like somebody took a machete to it. Half my people are crying tears, quoting the dialogue, posting clips of those wild shootouts like it’s the funniest thing since Friday. The other half? Big ...

(AfroGamers.com) Everybody kept saying the big war shooter was dead. Dead like the arcade, dead like couch multiplayer, dead like the LAN party you used to drag your tower across town for. The suits looked at the numbers, saw a hundred bodies crammed onto one map going nowhere, and decided ...
(AfroGamers.com) Every few months a new title lands where you snag little critters and raise them up for battle, and like clockwork somebody in the replies calls it a Pokémon knockoff. Reflexive. Kind of lazy, honestly. And almost nobody bothers to check whether that franchise even landed before the competition. ...
(AfroGamers.com) I have gotten dropped in Call of Duty more times than my ego wants to admit, and not once did my gut clench up. You eat a bullet, the screen barely reacts, and you are moving again, chewing the same stick of gum before the irritation even lands. Reload, ...
(AfroGamers.com) In recent years, I’ve come to appreciate sports games more. That’s primarily down to watching Dynasty videos and franchise rebuilds. I’m a big simulation game fan and the GM, Player Career, and MyLeague modes were what I went to if I played a sports title since I’ve never cared ...
