It is no secret we here at Stack-Up are big fans of Dauntless. We had our first chance to check this title out at PAX South earlier this year and we were hooked on the slaying action. What is even more awesome is that the folks at Dauntless seem to enjoy us at here at Stack-Up just as much. During our time with them at PAX South, one of their artists drew up these awesome shots of Mary one of our Air Assaults and Dave our Veteran Coordinator. The fun continued through to the

Through our Air Assault program in which we hand-pick deserving veterans and pay for them to attend life-changing video game and geek culture events, we often look for ways to deliver on the “Life-Changing” aspect. When we can make a special connection happen on a convention floor, it is truly magical for all involved. This past PAX East 2017 we had the incredible opportunity to create one of these special moments for one of our Air Assaults in attendance. Joe Nieves, who you

Space…there certainly is a lot of it, and it all waits to be conquered in Starpoint Gemini Warlords. We had the chance to check this one out first hand on the show floor at PAX East 2017 earlier this year. Our own Chris “The Game Case” Case chatted with Neils Kooijman from Iceberg Interactive about this space strategy RPG. Check out the video below! Thanks Neils for chatting with us about Starpoint Gemini Warlords. The game is already impressive to watch and play and we look

Alongside all the amazing gaming software that covers the PAX South show floor you can find some of the newest, and coolest upcoming hardware. We had the chance to take a hands-on look at some interesting Virtual Reality devices that allow you to interact with VR in a new way. Merge VR and the Holo Cube allow a new level of tactile immersion as the Holo Cube transforms before your eyes. Check out the video below as our own Chris “The Game Case” Case has a chat with Merge VR’s

I first met Jaycee Salinas during his PAX South 2017 panel: Make Games Not Excuses 2: Another Open Discussion. I was immediately sucked in by the can-do attitude. The idea of not limiting yourself and simply working with your talent and what is available speaks volumes to me and while the panel discussion was great I could not wait to get down on the show floor and check out A Duel Hand Disaster: Trackher. This is a game that is certainly a bit different from the norm and Jay

One of the great things about partaking in gaming conventions is of course, seeing new ideas added into existing genres. Heavy Metal Machines is no exception as it takes the high-octane energy of vehicular combat games and adds in some MOBA like features. This past TwitchCon our own Chris “The Game Case” Case had a chance to sit down and chat with the folks behind Heavy Metal Machines and get a glimpse into what this upcoming title has to offer. Check out the interview in the

This past TwitchCon we had the chance to talk with the folks behind the Sniper series and their latest entry Sniper 3: Ghost Warrior. Focusing on an open world experience Sniper 3 looks to allow you to carve your own experience through the game. Hit the play button and listen in as Skatch and Tomasz Pruski from CI Games have a chat about the new mechanics and what you can expect from Sniper 3: Ghost Warrior! Thanks so much Tomasz for taking the time to chat with us about Snip

We have another great Developer interview for you with the folks behind Blade Ballet. Blade Ballet is a multiplayer brawler featuring spinning robots that duke it out it in zany, whimsical ways. With bright, colorful visuals, and a hilarious emphasis on fun gameplay the game looks to provide plenty of good times for you and your friends. Check out the video below as Chris “The Game Case” Case chats with Emma Larkins from Dream Sail Games to get an in-depth look into game and

If you have been playing PlayStation VR, you may have seen a title full of color and quirky characters. World War Toons stands out from the shooter crowd with its vibrant art style and zany loony toon-esque gameplay mechanics. It further distances itself by being designed from the ground up with Virtual Reality in mind. We here at Stack-Up had the chance to talk with the folks behind World War Toons at TwitchCon earlier this year. Check out the video below to get some great i

This past PAX West we had an amazing opportunity to chat with a pioneer in the gaming space, none other than Jordan Weisman the creator of Battletech and one of the founders of FASA. He took time to talk with us not only about the latest from the universe of Battletech, but also about Necropolis both from Harebrained Schemes. Thanks so much to Jordan and all the amazing folks from Harebrained Schemes for taking the time to chat with us about their latest projects. Make sure t

I have always been interested in the Steampunk Airship battler, Guns of Icarus. The steampunk setting drove my initial interest and the co-op versus combat looked like a blast. There was one problem. My friends tend to hate PvP games, leaving me with no one to play with. Now however with Guns of Icarus: Alliance the battle can be more of a friendly affair thanks to the addition of PvE content. We recently had the chance to sit down and chat with the folks over at Muse Games a

Right away the art style on display in Antihero attracted me to it. When I found out it was developed by one man, Tim Conkling, I was even more intrigued. When Georgina Verdon from Versus Evil took the time to chat with me at PAX West I was very excited to learn more about this interesting “Oliver” twist to the 4X strategy genre. Give a watch to the video below and learn more about this quirky Indie Title. Once again I want to thanks Georgina for talking with me and giving us

We met a lot of amazing people this year at RTX 2016, from amazing cosplayers and fans of all types of games to the developers of said games and yes even the media that covers these games. That is one of the amazing things about the convention experience, seeing the games industry as a whole come together to learn about ourselves and enjoy each others company. I was fortunate enough to have a chance to chat with the folks from Ideas are Bulletproof Studios and while the conve
