(AfroGamers.com) I still remember sitting too close to the screen, controller damp in my hands, my boy on the second pad next to me, both of us whisper yelling so we wouldn’t wake nobody’s mama. That was the era. Couch, split screen, no headset required because the trash talk was ...
(AfroGamers.com) Real ones remember the first drop. The bus, the little glider, that half second your boots hit grass and somebody was already cracking your shield before you’d even found a gun. There was a purity to it back then. You against ninety nine strangers, a storm squeezing the map ...
(AfroGamers.com) For a couple of months, I got back into Warframe, a third-person shooter from Digital Extremes.

(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 ...
(AfroGamers.com) Destiny: Rising is a mobile first-person/third-person shooter from NetEase Games. It is a sequel to Bungie’s Destiny franchise and has seen a lot of action in its first few weeks out. Now, I’m not as hardcore a Destiny 2 player as my younger brother. As a matter of fact, ...
