(AfroGamers.com) A game I often think about are 1990s Cruis’n games from Williams. I knew Williams more from its titles being more arcade-y and typically published by Midway Games. Cruis’n USA and World. At that time Midway was doing very well with some cutting-edge arcade series like Area 51, Mortal ...
(AfroGamers.com) The year was 2020 and one of the games I wasn’t paying attention to was Tripwire Interactive’s Maneater. I remember seeing Maneater on the PSN and not being particularly interested in playing an action game featuring a shark. I didn’t even think it was about hunting the shark, just ...
(AfroGamers.com) You know, a 90s series that I often pontificate about is Cool Spot. It was released and developed by Virgin Games in 1993. This was a platformer and adaptation of the old 7 Up commercials from the time featuring the Cool Spot mascot. A Lot of Work for a ...

(AfroGamers.com) My brother and I began playing Diablo IV with season two which was the “Season of Blood” based around Sanctuary being terrorized by vampires. It was pretty much the game’s first proper season following completion of the main game and there being nothing of note to do afterwards. Well, ...
(AfroGamers.com) I’ve played the Pokemon games since Pokemon Red. At that time, the monster-catching element was a new experience for someone who had only played two JRPGs at that point. Then Pokemon Gold/Silver dropped and it introduced something that I’ve always wanted the series to get right. By the time ...
(AfroGamers.com) Devolver Digital became known for games like Hotline Miami and The Talos Principle. However, the publisher has released many games by indie developers and some were initially previewed favorably before being released to players. One of those games is 2017’s Absolver by SloClap.
