I’m sitting down, again, at the top floor of the W Hotel in Times Square, after getting my hands on the Oculus moments earlier, I’m now joined by a different crowd of people. Behind me sits two subjects who, had this not been Comic Con, might not have any reason to be here. Juan and Adrian of Team Gotham, a studio of four based out of Madrid. Juan and Adrian are here with me on behalf of 505 Games. 505 Games, I’m told, has such faith in Team Gotham’s...
It’s Friday, October 9th. New York Comic Con is in full swing and people just like us are overflowing out of every corner of the Javits Center. Not me, though. Not my team. We’re somewhere much different, somewhere high, high above the streets of New York. I’m in space, on a deserted and abandoned space station where I’m quickly running out of air. Shit. I need to find an oxygen tank. I need it quickly. I’ve been told that every movement I...
Friday afternoon, Austin and I left PAX and attended Adr1ft’s screening hosted by IGN. I want to emphasize the fact that it was a “screening”. Thanks to IGN and 505 games we were treated to viewing the current Adr1ft trailer and gameplay in a full sized movie theater! The sound quality – amplified in the movie theater – was astonishing. After hearing the projects that the some of the team members were a part of prior to working on this game...

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is an innovative game. An innovative game that I really, really wanted to enjoy. Yet I couldn’t. Confusing controls and repetitive puzzles simply took me to the point of no return. Why do I say wanted to? Let’s talk about that. Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a game that puts you in control of two brothers, two sons, actually, that set out on a quest to find magical water that will heal their dying father. The story is told solely...
Terraria starts as simply as any game that you have ever seen, and in these humble beginnings it is very easy to mistake the clever and complex world for something mundane. You start as a user-created character with various creation options that can be manipulated in any way that the player sees fit. Once creation is finished the options are quite simple, pick a small, medium or large world and your difficulty level and you are unleashed into the mysterious world of...
The original Payday was met with mixed reactions among gamers and journalists alike. Most of the people I spoke to loved the concept of the game but felt like the execution was lacking that special something that would have put this game over the top. From the information that we’re getting now from 505 Games it looks like those complaints have been heard and that they are doing everything possible to make Payday 2 everything we wanted from the original. Players will...
