The weekend of March 5th – March 8th I had the extraordinary opportunity to sit down with a multitude of games. All of this week I will be putting up previews, news, and opinions on what I saw at Pax East 2015. I will be covering newly announced games like Gigantic, highly anticipated titles like Overwatch and the best ports to consoles at the show. My PAX East adventures started off with a bang when my editor-in-chief and I went to a pre-PAX community event with the...
We’re proud to announce the winners of our PAX East Game of Show Awards as well as our PAX East Editor’s Choice award. These games are those that stuck out the most to us out of the hundreds on the show floor, and are what we were most proud to get our hands on during the weekend. “For combining a wonderfully inviting art style, curiously addictive gameplay, and unique take on the MOBA genre, Gigantic takes this years PAX East crown. Be sure to check out...
I have never played Dark Souls. I’m not much of one for the “perma-death” style of game. I am the type of person who, in the event of losing a save game, will never play through a game again because I already did this. So what am I doing falling in love with a game that is near identical in mechanics to Dark Souls? Where nothing you’ll ever do will last longer then one life? It has to be some type of great for that to happen. Enter Necropolis: The...
I am not the type of person who laughs very often. Well, let me rephrase that. I am not the type of person who laughs at his television very often. The occasional chuckle, maybe, but if I’m not having a conversation with someone even getting a quickened breathe out of my nose is a rare occurrence. So why was my stomach erupting with deep, deep belly laughs on the show floor of Boston’s Convention Center? Something undoubtably hilarious must of been...
Last week, Sony updated the world on Project Morpheus, its virtual reality headset for PlayStation 4. The near final version revealed had a number of impressive updates including a higher resolution display, a refresh rate that’s almost double the refresh rate of the Oculus Rift DK2, and the ability to play games at 120 FPS (frames per second). The final version was announced for launch in the first half of 2016. I’ve had a fascination with Virtual Reality for...
It’s not very often that i sit down and type out anything while I’m at a convention. Whether it’s PAX in Boston or Seattle or Comic Con in New York, between the back to back to back 17 hour days filled with constant walking, running, talking, and partying, it’s not at all easy to sit down and dedicate my time to writing out something that I can just as easily do from the comfort of my own home in a few days time. So why, exactly, am I doing it now...
This weeks 20 Questions will be with Gabriel Graziani [GG] (Community Developer working at Ubisoft Montreal) @UbiGabe (dont forget to vote on the next 20Q Here) Community Managers are a key part to any company, but in the gaming industry the Community Manager is like a golden gun on GoldenEye.

With the Xbox One getting droves of new features through the consoles Preview Program, fans are of course left to wonder what to expect now that the Xbox 360 has been given the same program.

Rhythm fans, rejoice, shake your groove things, and strum it out, because the unspeakable has happened – Harmonix has today announced the return of rhythm games with Rock Band 4. After the death of the music-gaming genre a few years back due to over-saturation from rapid releases of Guitar Hero and Rock Band alike, fans were unsure whether we would ever see the band get back together. Today is that day. Fans of Rock Band 4 can look for all new hardware, a new game, and...
