Now Is The Time For African Game Developers To Take Charge & Create AAA Games Based Around Africa’s Bountiful Cultures, History & Mythology!
You know, with games like Ghost of Tsushima, Conquers’s Blade, Anno 1800, The Witchers, Red Dead Redemption and Total war: Three Kingdoms, they all share something in common. All of these games are based on strong cultures from various countries/continent. Themes that we’ve seen, time and time again.

How To Improve Gaming Journalism In 2019! Or Can It Even Be Improved?
Gaming journalism has being the butt of the joke in the gaming community. No one respects the art anymore, and for good reasons. What was once a medium used to tell news in an objectified manner and to inform the public of any relevant information and news that may be of use to them, has now turned into this…this, for lack of better word, a fucking dumpster fire.

Have Video Games & Gamers Become Soft?
Over the years, I’ve been pondering the state of video games and whether or not, we as a gaming community, have gotten soft. What I mean by this is, games that show a moderate level of difficulty immediately gets labeled “Dark-Souls like” by almost every gaming media journalist out there and I feel like this has gotten outta hand.
