(AfroGamers.com) There’s a strange thing that happens when a piece of art spends long enough in the dark. The waiting stops serving the work and starts replacing it. Somewhere along the way, the promise becomes more sacred than anything a finished product could ever deliver, and Grand Theft Auto Six ...
(AfroGamers.com) Let me lead with a position I have defended in more arguments than I care to count. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, our two most celebrated Zelda titles of this modern era, are also its most overpraised, and my reasoning comes down to something plain. ...
(AfroGamers.com) There’s a complaint that resurfaces the moment a fresh anime season kicks off, and it has only grown louder with each passing year. Where the new stuff at? Why is every studio recycling the same five franchises? Why can’t we get anything fresh instead of a fourth season nobody ...
(AfroGamers.com) There is a quiet graveyard of fitness apps on my phone, and I am the one who buried every single one. Over the years I downloaded just about anything that promised to fix my whole life. Some came with glowing rings you had to close. Others hollered at me ...
(AfroGamers.com) For most of its existence, this franchise asked one question of you and only one. Who crosses the line first? Three decades of design flowed from that single idea.

(AfroGamers.com) Real ones remember the first drop. The bus, the little glider, that half second your boots hit grass and somebody was already cracking your shield before you’d even found a gun. There was a purity to it back then. You against ninety nine strangers, a storm squeezing the map ...
(AfroGamers.com) I been gaming long enough to remember exactly where I was when the first trailer dropped. Phone buzzing, group chat losing its entire mind, somebody’s cousin already screen recording so they could slow it down frame by frame. And then that flamingo. That sunrise over the water. That voice. ...
(AfroGamers.com) What game is the most samurai game ever? Is it Samurai Warriors? Not close. Actually, if I could write out the sound effect for a buzzer, I’d do it but that’s bad taste or something. How about Bushido Blade? If you guessed that, you’re definitely in flavor country but not ...
(AfroGamers.com) For a couple of months, I got back into Warframe, a third-person shooter from Digital Extremes. The game came out in early 2013, over a year before Bungie released the first Destiny game. I mention Destiny because Warframe comes off as something of a third-person version of Destiny—which is kind of inaccurate because Warframe came first but it’s definitely not ...
