(AfroGamers.com) I been gaming long enough to remember exactly where I was when the first trailer dropped. Phone buzzing, group chat losing its entire mind, somebody’s cousin already screen recording so they could slow it down frame by frame. And then that flamingo. That sunrise over the water. That voice. ...
(AfroGamers.com) What game is the most samurai game ever? Is it Samurai Warriors? Not close. Actually, if I could write out the sound effect for a buzzer, I’d do it but that’s bad taste or something. How about Bushido Blade? If you guessed that, you’re definitely in flavor country but not ...
(AfroGamers.com) For a couple of months, I got back into Warframe, a third-person shooter from Digital Extremes.
