    PAX EAST: Action Sidescroller Foregone now available on Epic Games Early Access

    They say that you can be done with the past, but the past isn’t done with you. In moments where there are bad memories standing in front of you, it might just be preferred to punch it in the face. Developer and publisher Big Blue Bubble has announced a special new game that puts players headfirst against an ancient enemy, but also, the very memories of the past that have been buried for so long. Arriving exclusively to Epic Games Early Access is Foregone, an action sidescroll

    PAX EAST: Liberated Hands-On

    George Orwell’s famous novel, 1984, depicted a haunting dystopian world, where corruption is disguised as order and freedom of choice is a lie. This foundation has been seen in various books, shows, movies, and even video games. With so many, it is important to differentiate oneself from the competition, and Liberated from Atomic Wolf and Walkabout looks to do just that. Liberated was featured in the Holiday 2019 Nintendo Direct as an action and stealth adventure game, with a

    Black Future ’88 Hands-On Impressions

    Good Shepard dimmed the lights for a special event featuring Black Future ’88, a side-scrolling cyberpunk roguelike game with incredibly tight controls and a pulse-pounding synthwave soundtrack the likes of which has not been heard in games before in the October of 2019. Having followed Black Future ’88 since PAX EAST and PAX WEST of 2018 I am happy to say that since the game’s release on November 21st, it has been performing really well.

    PAX WEST: No Straight Roads Hands-On Impressions

    Music is love, music is life, and without music, there is no existence. Music is a great power of untold reach, but for a select few, they seek to control and manipulate the industry. When they are rejected by the music judges of the world, the band members of Bunk Bed Junction will come together to fight back against the EDM empire and save the world of music in this new game titled No Straight Roads. This is an action-adventure game where music isn’t a lifestyle but a weapo

    Radio Commander Puts Players Into the jungles of the Vietnam War, Out Now On Steam

    For twenty years, from November of 1955 to April of 1975, the jungles of Southeast Asia echoed with the sounds of war. The Vietnam War, once America’s longest war was a divisive and costly conflict, where the constant sounds and images of war made their way half a world away back to American television sets. The Vietnam War is considered the darkest time in American history. It was a time where the United States was ripping itself apart from both at home and abroad. Regardles

    A Fold Apart Hands-On Impressions

    Long-distance relationships aren’t easy, and they can become an often complicated subject. Whether a civilian or a service member, long-distance relationships can come with their mixture of warm feelings and crushing sadness. Lightning Rod Games is hoping to bring a thoughtful perspective to the discussion of Long-Distance Relationships with A Fold Apart, an adventure puzzle game inspired by the art of Origami.

    Tank Combat Game Winter Fury: Longest Road Heads to the Frontlines

    As history has seen it, World War II witnessed the largest formations of tanks and tank battles in the history of warfare, from the beaches of Normandy to the sands of North Africa, to the infamous Battle of The Bulge. VR games have featured plenty of first-person shooting on-foot, but never have they have never featured the thrill of operating inside a battle tank. Multiple tons of sheer crushing force and firepower make for a great time, and the fine people at SpiderMonk En

    PAX EAST: BloodRoots Kick Ass

    Fast, kinetic, and almost like a bloody Sonic The Hedgehog, BloodRoots is a sublime game in the making from Canada-based Paper Cut games. I had the opportunity to play the game at PAX East this past March and it was a fantastic experience, albeit far too painfully short. A few years ago, an Academy-Award winning movie was released that was made famous for various reasons. This movie, which took place in the wild wilderness of the American Mid-West, featured a violent bear att

    PAX EAST: E-Line Media and the BBC Brings Beyond Blue To The Surface

    It’s a known fact that we, as humans, know more about the surface of the moon that we do about the ocean. Beneath the seas is an entirely different world filled with mystery, intrigue, and scientific discovery. Many pioneers, such as Jacque Custeau, took a revolutionary step beneath the surface to not only discover new life but to understand it. In the face of all of our research and discovery of the oceans of the Earth, there is an entire world beneath the waves, still untou

    Before PAX EAST, Nintendo hosted a special Nindies presentation to highlight the various up and coming indie games heading to the Nintendo Switch. Among them was a special looking game that seemed to have the visual fidelity of a 2000 AD Graphic novel, with an interesting combination of puzzle mechanics, hack-&-slash action, and pinball. This game was Creature in the Well by Flight School Studio. Sporting a unique look and combination of various gameplay mechanics, Creature i

    Shoot-’em Ups and spaceship-shooters have been around for a little over 30 years. For the most part, the genre is tried-and-true. These games have simple gameplay mechanics for players that yield instantaneous fun for anyone looking for a quick game to play. As they go, players press start, hop into a ship and start blasting waves upon waves of enemies. From Galaga, RayStatorm, and 1943 to DariusBurst and Afterburner II, there is a nearly endless library of great shoot-em-ups
