Runic Games, makers of Torchlight and Torchlight II have branched out with an adventure/puzzle game called Hob (PS4, PC). I had the chance to sit down and play at PAX East, and promptly spent the rest of the show telling people they needed to go see it. There is no text or voice over in Hob, …

No reading previews from previous trade shows. And definitely no gameplay videos. Then I walked through the doors …
Each year PAX East showcases the best of the best in the video game industry. Most of the time the games wow attendees in their art, story, or innovative game play. This year for me, however, I was blown away by the message one booth was sending to all those who stopped by to try …
