One of the best parts of going to PAX is seeing games in their early alpha states. They are so full of promise and interesting challenges you can’t help but be filled with excitement. I got the chance to see several games in various states on the show floor but one of the more interesting …
It seems like many games we get the chance to check out on the PAX East floor go out of their way to avoid the boring “It is (game) mixed with (another game)” cliche. Songbringer doesn’t do this because it pays homage to the games that have come before it while being able to artistically …
Tim and Nika had a chance to get some hands on time with Absolver at PAX East and had to chat about it. Absolver is definitely a game that greatly benefits from seeing it in action. Plus, we are not smart enough to explain the dance like flow of combat. Enjoy!
Of the dozen of PAXs I’ve attended in my life, this most recent PAX East was the most interesting by far.

When I got …
What do you do when you find yourself living in a world where terrifying monsters the size of buildings want to have you for dinner? Well if you play NOCT, you can find out. Set in an apocalyptic wasteland, NOCT, is a great indie game from the mind of Chris Eskins and one that I was pumped …
I like games that let me do what I want to do. Hey, my bumper sticker says “Rules are made to be broken, bub” and my leather vest has Yosemite Sam proudly stitched on the back. I know how to be an outlaw but sometimes I just want to sell various goods across the Caribbean seas. Windward lets …
