Gamespot: "Earlier this year at the Game Developers Conference, I spoke with Redacted Studios president David Robinson about the upcoming Afro Samurai 2. It was a lengthy conversation, in part because I enjoyed the original Afro Samurai (the Howard Drossin-penned and RZA-inspired soundtrack is particularly delightful), and in part because the stories behind Afro Samurai's development and its sequel were too fascinating to pull away from. At one time, Robinson was a rescuer of sorts, a producer who took troubled projects like Afro and Splatterhouse and wove their fraying threads into working entertainment. Now, he's leading a new studio to potential prosperity after successfully lobbying to continue the Afro Samurai story...and after retrieving art assets meant for the original that would have otherwise been ignored, never to be seen and enjoyed by anyone outside of the developers that created them.
2015 was a good year. We've seen plenty of quality titles, but not all of last year's releases were good. Have a look at the 10 worst current-gen console games of 2015.
I did not play any of these this past year. Good thing I didn't bother either.

"Hardcore Gamer writes: "The Afro Samurai video game was an interesting proposition. It sounded like something that would work well, but in the end this 2009 release was basically glossed over by everyone but diehard fans. Even then, most recognized that it wasn’t nearly as good as it should have been given the source material. It’s been a long time but now Redacted Studios is taking on a sequel with Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma. And yes, it does actually follow after the events of the first game, though you won’t be required to remember back (or have played it at all) to dive right in."
