A couple weeks ago, I posted about Hologrid: Monster Battle, an AR board/ card game from Tippett Studio and HappyGiant that is currently on Kickstarter. There are four days to go in the campaign, and they are so close to their goal of $100,000. (They are at $76,340 as of right now.) Here’s an excited bit of information: I got my hands on a few cards and the app, and it is cool.
In the Indie Megabooth at PAX East this year, there were a ton of games. Only a few constantly had a crowd, and one of them just so happened to be one I had an appointment with. Say hello to Thumper, a rhythm-Hell game for Steam and PlayStation 4/ PlayStation VR. During my appointment, I had the opportunity to play through their demo, which I felt like took 20 minutes to go all the way through it,...[Read More]
I’ve said it all weekend at EGLX and I’ll say it again: Arrow Heads is the new Super Smash Bros.
During my time at EGLX last weekend in Toronto, I got my hands on Bravery Network, a future PC game that is still in development and probably a year or so away from release, according to developers.
I was given the chance for some hands-on time with Goichi Suda’s (Suda51) latest work Let It Die from Grasshopper Manufacture, well known for games such as Killer is Dead, Shadows of the Damned and much more. For those of you who aren’t familiar, Goichi Suda is the CEO of Grasshopper Manufacture and boy does he make some nice games. If it wasn’t for Shadows of the Damned that I g...[Read More]
This past weekend was PAX East 2016, and it will not only my first conference as press, but my first major conference in general. Going into it, I had no idea of what to expect for the weekend. Lucky for me, my first appointment warmed me up and had me amped for the weekend. My first appointment was with The Game Bakers, an indie studio based out of France, and their game Furi.
Many fans have been wondering what would become of the Gears of War franchise since Epic Games stepped away from it after completing Judgment. Well, last year at E3, that question was answered with not only the introduction of Gears of War: Ultimate Edition (which came out last year), but an all-new Gears game, scheduled for release in October 2016.
We recently got a review copy of Soda Drinker Pro, which claims to be the first ever FPS (First Person Soda) and best Soda Simulator out there. While both of these are true, does it matter? With a review coming soon, take a look at some of the trippy and uncomfortable gameplay that is Soda Drinker Pro. In this title, there are two portions: part one is Soda Drinker Pro and part two is called Vivia...[Read More]
One of last year’s bigger surprises for me was the action/role-playing game Hand of Fate, a unique mixture of card-turning and action-based segments where you could literally change your destiny with just a few simple moves. The game works with a unique concept and rolls with it – literally – as you build up for better cards and eventually become a true player for your adversary to fear.
Return to the galaxy far, far away as we get hands-on with what may be Traveller’s Tales’ best Lego game yet.
For a few days now I’ve put in a lot of time on the upcoming release Pokkén Tournament for the Wii U. This ranges from online battles, friends coming over to play as well as Erin joining me in local multiplayer battles. While I’d go on with a nice introduction in most of my content I’ll be getting straight to the point with this hands-on preview. Now enough of my intro babbling a...[Read More]
I’ll start off by saying I love puzzle games. I also love what Tiny Build brings to the gaming world. The trailer for Road to Ballhalla made me want to play the game, which you can see below in this hands-on preview.
