(AfroGamers.com) Let me talk about something that has been sitting heavy on my chest since the first trailer dropped and everybody lost their minds over Lucia. That feeling did not disappear when Rockstar released its extended look. If anything, seeing more of the world made the question harder to ignore. ...
(AfroGamers.com) The Tekken franchise dropped in 1994. First in the arcades and shopping center entryways and months later on the original PlayStation in March 1995. My first actual encounter with Tekken was in 1996 via a Tekken 2 combo guide in a gaming magazine. Which magazine escapes me and I ...
(AfroGamers.com) Nobody warned me what that chainsaw would do to my nervous system back in 2006. First time it caught a Locust mid-lunge, my roommate came flying out the kitchen convinced somebody was getting jumped in our living room. Just me. Hunched over a controller, sweating through a cover shooter ...
(AfroGamers.com) Counter-Strike 2 stands as the most-played game on Steam in 2026, regularly climbing past a million concurrent players during its daily peaks.

(AfroGamers.com) Some video game genres exist within a specific period of time. When an indie studio comes along and announces they’re making a game inspired on a somewhat dated genre or they picked up the license, that game tends geared at players from that generation of gaming. I’m talking about ...
(AfroGamers.com) Treyarch put this out in 2010, and I still don’t think people give it enough credit for how strange it was willing to get. Most Call of Duty campaigns run the same play. Big guns, bigger explosions, a helicopter or two eating the dirt before the credits. This one ...
(AfroGamers.com) Nearly fourteen months after id Software asked us to trade speed for weight, the studio has quietly given much of it back. Revelations landed on July 7 carrying a twenty dollar price and a lot more nerve than most post launch content bothers with. Within an hour or so, ...
(AfroGamers.com) For years, FromSoftware built its whole reputation on suffering by yourself. You against the world.
