Morphite – Brings Intergalactic Exploration Across the Stars and to PAX West

Some of the unique aspects of PAX WEST 2017 wasn’t just what was happening on the show floor, but also off the show floor. On September the 1st, deep in downtown Seattle, a special event was on-going, bringing forth the very best and brightest of Seattle’s Independent Gaming Scene. Titled SEATTLE MIX, the short but very special event brought food, drinks, and video games under one roof for players to interact and play the newest happening games. Among the special games, I had

Blasters of the Universe – PAX West Hands-On Preview

At one point or another, we have all played a VR game and felt like the main hero in another world. Additionally, there is a high likelihood that you have watched the sci-fi classic Tron and Tron: Legacy and embarked on a grand adventure onto a digital frontier. Now, imagine a game where players are thrust into a digital universe. A madman is threatening the computer world and the real world, and it’s up to you to fight him in the very game he created. It’s a game where losin

Tonight We Riot – Brings The Heat For Revolution at PAX West 2017

New Blood Publishing has made great strides with its games, and among them is a darling brawling action game, called Tonight We Riot. Heavily inspired by dystopic depictions of the 1980’s and real-life events of protest and revolution, Tonight We Riot puts players on the frontlines of toppling governments the good ‘ol fashioned way, and that is through the streets. When I last checked the game, it looked and sounded chaotic, and fierce. At PAX West 2017, I noticed some improv

Fortnite – Interview with the Developer at PAX West 2017

Fortnite at PAX West 2017!

Dauntless – PAX West Interview with the Developer!

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.

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

Earth Atlantis – We Explore the Depths Hands-On at PAX West 2017

” In a single day and night of misfortune, Atlantis disappeared into the depth of the sea.”-Plato Over many thousands of years, the happenings of and events of humans shaped the planet of Earth. There was only so much mother nature could take before its patience was reached and could not contain the ire any longer. The water rose, cities fell, and human civilization has fallen. However, deep beneath the surface lies dangerous secrets and great rewards, tucked within the ruins

The machines have won, and there is nothing left of mankind, not even DNA. There are no time-traveling heroes coming back in time to prevent the end of humanity. There is no virulent kill-code that can end the domination of steel. There is no masterful control station orbiting the Earth that, should it be destroyed, will end the machines. Mankind is done, and the combat machines dominate all, hoping to spread throughout the cosmos. Just when there is nothing left, hope lies i

Guns. The modern day evolution of sticks, stones, arrows, and swords. They exist to make jobs easier, to give progress to battles, and to be the final statement in conflict. It helps that using firearms, especially in video games, can be incredibly fun, and can be the deciding factor between victory and defeat. A weapon is only as good as how it’s wielded, and in Mothergunship, you’ll need your skill, and cutting edge firepower to survive. The situation is dire, and you are t
