by Evan Burkey under PLAY on Sep 13th

PAX? Didn’t that happen like 2 weeks ago? Yeah, it did… but real life has made it hard for me to get any coverage up. Hooray responsibility! The next couple days I’ll be talking about what I saw, and what should be on your radar for the coming year in gaming. So let’s start with Wikipad Inc’s new gaming tablet, the Wikipad.

RLR Special – Interview With The Protomen

by Xopher Reed under FEATURED on Sep 8th

Before podcasts, before the desire to do shit on the Internet, I used to attend concerts all the damn time. I’m talking 3 sometimes 4 a week during the summer and fall. You’d be surprised with who exactly comes to tour this hallowed state of ours here in Utah. Quit laughing, Utah is cool.

Novint Falcon 3D Touch Controller

by Dan Salvucci under PLAY on Apr 10th

While I was at PAXEast there was a vendor there showing off the Novint Falcon 3D touch controller. I got a few minutes on the device and another player was good enough to let me catch him in this action shot. Admittedly when I walked up on the booth I saw the controller and I thought “Gimmick” but when i sat down with it I was definitely caught off guard by its weight and quality feel. It wasn’t a...

PAX 2011: Torchlight 2

by Evan Burkey under PLAY on Aug 27th

Runic Games’ story is almost something out of an industry fairytale. Bringing a small group of people together and shipping Torchlight a mere 11 months later is no small feat. Now Runic is getting close to a release for Torchlight 2, and all I can say is that my body is ready.

Insanely Awesome Band Lineup for PAX Prime

by Evan Burkey under Uncategorized on Jun 29th

PAX Prime is, for me, one of the greatest things that happens every year. 2010 will mark the fourth year I’ve gone to PAX Prime, and that is not without reason: PAX Prime continues to be a ridiculously fun weekend each and every year. One of my favorite parts of PAX is the concerts that happen Friday and Saturday night. The lineup is, for the most part, popular acts from years past. The full list is as follows: Anamanaguchi Jonathan...

Jonathan Knight is a Buffoon

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Feb 3rd

Ok, let me come at you with a proposition. Say you’re the executive for a game developer and you have a hotly anticipated title coming out soon. By hotly anticipated game, we’re talking one that will easily sell millions of units for the distributor who has bought your IP. This isn’t just speculation, the game will sell gangbusters. Wouldn’t you already be kicking the ball around in your mind...

Seeing a Man About a Monkey: An Interview with Dave Grossman

by Ryan Wilson under PLAY on Sep 19th

This PAX, I had the opportunity to talk with the Design Director of Telltale Games, Dave Grossman, who is a personal idol of mine. Why’s that you ask? Dave Grossman was one of the core designers of the classic The Secret of Monkey Island, the game I attribute for getting into video games. He also contributed to the development of such titles as Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, Day of the Tentacle,...

League of Legends – PC preview pulled from PAX

by The Gaming Godfather under PLAY on Sep 15th

At last year’s PAX, I came across a game that felt just perfect for me. I’ve always been a bit of a strategy gamer but, like some others, I hated micromanagement. The thought of having to control dozens of individual units made me cringe! Then, Demigod came around. The RTS game that grants you the ability to control one Demigod and no one else. The game did fit me like a glove, but that glove grew...

Divinity 2: Ego Draconis – first taste courtesy of PAX

by The Gaming Godfather under PLAY on Sep 12th

Now as most probably did, I originally walked past the CDV booth while it was up at PAX. Seeing such cutesy games such as My Little Baby and odd DS puzzle games like that of I Heart Geeks, I held no faith that they would produce anything for non-casual gamers. Then, my eye caught a sign displaying an intriguing piece of artwork and the title Divinity II: Ego Draconis. After allowing this image sink in, I decided...
