Are you a fan of music, podcasts, or radio talk shows? What about the idea that your actions can change the views of others? Finally, what if there was a game that focused on altering people’s perspectives through time travel and recording radio conversations? If your answer to all three questions is yes then Alt-Frequencies might just be the game for you. At PAX East 2019, we had the opportunity ...[Read More]
While the core release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider has been impressive enough in its own right, there’s something remarkable about the downloadable content support that both Eidos Montreal and Crystal Dynamics have given it. We’ve seen some fun additional levels and new ideas that bubbled to the surface, including some involving…the undead? We’ve also seen some great Challenge Tombs, giving playe...[Read More]
Have you ever wondered how you got somewhere in life and asked yourself, “how the hell did I get here?” This question encapsulates our adventures with Hitchhiker and Cardpocalypse at PAX East 2019. Before the event, I decided that I was going to go into each appointment as clueless as possible. Little did I know that this would take me on an adventure that I was ill prepared for.
Creature in the Well is one of those games. The mixture of Breakout, pinball, and a dungeon crawler was not something I can say I ever wished for but I’m so glad that Flight School Studio brought these things together in one incredibly fun package. I had the opportunity to check out this unique title at PAX East.
There is nothing quite like Astrologaster! Coming from developer Nyamyam, Astrologaster is a game based on the real-life Dr. Simon Forman, who couldn’t afford to go to traditional medical school. Dr. Forman decided that he could advise patients using the zodiac as a basis for his reasoning. All he had to do was satisfy the patients with his diagnoses and treatments to keep them coming back and ref...[Read More]
PAX East is always a one-of-a-kind event, granting those who go the chance to see the latest indie games being released or being worked on. As some of you reading may remember, Kitfox Games recently had a Kickstarter for the game Boyfriend Dungeon. I first learned about the work being done on the game during PAX East 2018 from Victoria Tran who happens to be the Community Manager of Kitfox Games. ...[Read More]
At PAX 2019 we were relaxing from a long day on the hard concrete show floor when we found a cute little party game that was flying under the radar. In the back corner of the Headup Games booth, Fromto’s demo offered a nice place to lounge while allowing players to unleash their creative or chaotic side in a race to the finish. We originally made our way to the Headup Games booth for our app...[Read More]
While the popularity of looter shooters has risen due to the likes of Destiny, The Division, and Anthem, many gamers will say that Gearbox’s Borderlands series is still the pinnacle of the genre. It’s not an understatement to say that Borderlands essentially built the looter shooter craze. Still, the series hasn’t gotten a full release since 2014’s The Pre-Sequel. In the five years since then, the...[Read More]
At PAX East 2019, we had the opportunity to get hands-on with a relatively unknown indie game, Darksburg. Darksburg is currently in development by Shiro Games and is inspired by games such as Diablo, Left 4 Dead, and various M.O.B.As. Although we only had a short time with the playable demo, the game left us eager to play more. With only a short 30-minute demo to grasp the basics of the game, we ...[Read More]

Although Wrestlemania 35 is typically known as the grand showcase for professional wrestling, the New Japan/ ROH Supercard and NXT Brooklyn show definitely raised the Bar. At the moment, ...[Read More]
As someone who is an avid fan of racing games, both big and small, getting the opportunity to check out Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled was quite fun. I’ll state now that I’ve never played the Crash Racing series growing up as I mainly owned hand held gaming consoles, plus the PlayStation 1 and original Xbox. Boy, did I miss out! My hands-on time was with the PlayStation 4 version of t...[Read More]
When Bowling For Soup sang “High School Never Ends”, they didn’t mean it as an aspirational song. However, in The Caligula Effect Overdose, out now in the United States from NIS America, that’s exactly how a self-aware Virtuadoll interpreted paradise.
