(AfroGamers.com) Let’s get into a few classic video game series that I was never fully onboard with over the decades. This could be down to me not finishing the entire series or most of the games while others are just games I never rocked with but they have long-lived fanbases ...
(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) The first time I stopped moving in Green Hill, it ruined the way I played every Sonic release after. Somebody had to say it. For over thirty years the pitch has been the same. He moves. He blurs. He taps his foot when you leave him standing still too ...
(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. ...

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 ...
(AfroGamers.com) The Sega Genesis, like any console, had standalone games or short-lived franchises that make you go “Why are you even here?” or “What’s with this spinoff?” I constantly wander who asked for a particular game but I’m someone who can see potential or something decent in most games. Maybe ...
(AfroGamers.com) Pokeclones are a favorite subgenre of mine and Koei Tecmo’s Monster Rancher is one of my favorites. It dropped at a time of others such as Medabots, Robopon, Dragon Quest Monsters and an adjacent title such as Digimon. Not too long after Monster Rancher landed on PSX we’d see ...
(AfroGamers.com) So, Grand Theft Auto VI drops next year and I’ve been thinking of the double spin-offs and one particular expansion. We’re getting into the time machine and checking out some extra GTA titles that you may have played or forgotten about. GTA: London 1969 (1999) This was a fun ...
