(AfroGamers.com) Few franchise reinventions in modern gaming have been praised as thoroughly as Santa Monica Studio’s Norse era God of War, and few have quietly surrendered as much of their original identity in the process. Emotional maturity arrived. Volatility departed. Whether that exchange strengthened the series or simply made it ...
(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) 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. ...
(AfroGamers.com) The most infuriating thing that a story can do is create a character or plot device that starts off following a premise only for that premise to be completely lost along the way. The same applies with movie and book tropes that fall short of fulfilling even the basic ...
(AfroGamers.com) Peter Parker passed sixty in publishing years a while back, and the man is somehow still late on rent. I’ve thought about that a lot. Marvel spent decades stacking its shelf with a thunder god here, a billionaire genius there, an actual king running the most advanced nation on ...
