The Indie presence was in full-force at PaxEast 2016 this year and with the Megabooth set in the dead center of the convention, it was an imposing figure on the show floor. I spent a great deal of time travelling through setups and have boiled down the Indie games that got my blood pumping. Battle …
There are a few elements to a video game that will ensure I will want to play it. One is if I can date in the game; preferably date humans, but I have settled for pigeons before. The second is if it has any dealings with a period of history that I find interesting, I …
PAX East brings the big name for games to showcase the recently released, upcoming, and works in development. But my favorite parts of PAX are the wonderful Indie games that are out there and available to play, like the one that I found from Authentic Illusions, Arbor Sheep, and Games Starter: Realm Walk of Soul.

Although I participated in plenty of traditionally uncool activities (writing secret Redwall fanfiction in my journal, being really into gemstones, etc.), I missed the blessed time period where you easily learn stuff just by dint of being young and untainted by the evils of overthinking. When I got …
Pyre has the atmosphere you would expect from a game by Supergiant Games. When I got my hands on it at PAX East, I found the graphics to be lush, and the music to be beautiful just like their past games – Bastion and Transistor. What left me scratching my head a bit is that Pyre is also sports game. …
Whether you want to admit it or not, we are in the midst of the VR wars. Three huge companies are vying for your dollars in what they feel is the next “big thing” in entertainment. We all remember the “force feedback” wars of the early 2000’s. Hello six axis. These things are not cheap …
