(AfroGamers.com) Somewhere around the third time the Lion Dance Grandmaster sent me sprawling across the courtyard, something flipped. I stopped trying to beat Phantom Blade Zero and started trying to look good while it beat me. That small mental switch is the whole trick of S-GAME’s big-budget console debut, and ...
(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) Thirteen years we have been waiting on this one. On October 15, Rockstar finally cracked the door open with the official Grand Theft Auto VI launch trailer, and the whole internet lit back up. My phone was buzzing before the coffee got cold. Group chats went off. Somebody at ...
(AfroGamers.com) Nobody saw this one coming. Well, a few sharp folks did, but most of us who ride for this franchise walked into that 2024 Xbox showcase expecting a big number 6 on the box and the next chapter of Kait’s tangled mess. What we got instead was a trip ...

(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) 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.

(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.

(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.
