SpiritSphere DX is now out, and it’s available exclusively on the Nintendo Switch! The game was an official selection of the Indie MEGABOOTH in April this year, and we all know how much I love the Indie Megabooth area when I go to PAX. There are always awesome games there and this is another one […]
If you’re in the market for a new PS4, you may be in luck. Playstation has recently announced a new “Days of Play 2018” event happening June 8th through the 16th, in which a new PS4 Slim design was released. It’s a really awesome looking “PlayStation” blue console emblazoned with the PSN symbols in a […]
Sky Noon is a blast. That’s a pun, and a really good one if you ask me. Okay, for real though, Sky Noon is a 3v3 competitive multiplayer game in which your character’s arsenal includes a grappling hook, lasso, and an air gun. You’re a hired gunslinger battling cartel fighters in a new take on […]

Mike and Andrew re-connect since the PAX South episode, and Andrew talks about a lot of the games he saw at PAX East. Semblance, A Duel Hand Disaster, Sky Noon, RICO, […]

Another fun racing game I got to check out while at PAX East was Antigraviator. It’s a really fun racing game where speed and agility are a must. You’re able to accelerate infinitely, so you can wind up going around insane curves and what you think is break neck speeds only to keep going faster. […]
A really fun game that’s perfect for parties and is rolling out soon is Headsnatchers. I got the chance to play this at PAX East and I can already see this game being a great couch game with friends like Mario Party and Gang Beasts. Headsnatchers is a small arena battle game in which the […]
Memories of Mars is an upcoming game by Limbic Entertainment with publishing support from 505 Games. I got to spend some time checking it out during PAX East last weekend. Story: You’re a clone who wakes up on Mars and it appears that the planet is abandoned. 100 years in the future, the red planet […]
Aftercharge, the 3v3 competitive multiplayer game from Chainsawesome Games is having another server event starting today, April 14th. A number of alpha keys were given out over the PAX weekend, so this weekend’s online event will be a blast to play against a whole new group of players! The event will last 12 hours so you […]
I had an opportunity to check out The Path of Motus in the Indie Minibooth on day 1 of PAX East this year, and I wasn’t disappointed. The Path of Motus revolves around the idea of how you use your words. Instead of throwing a punch or a kick, you throw words. Those words have […]
Bit Loom and Coatsink are delighted to announce a collaboration to bring PHOGS! to multiple platforms in 2019. As of right now no platforms are specifically confirmed, but they have said they are planning on multiple digital releases for the lovely puzzle game. PHOGS! is a stylised adventure physics puzzler set in a vivid and […]

One of the cool things we got to play at PAX South this year was Laser League, the newest game from Roll 7, known for Not A Hero and the Olli Olli series. They are partnered with 505 Games on this project and it looks fantastic. It’s a fast action, high energy competition arena game […]
A Case of Distrust is a game I saw at the suggestion of a friend on the show floor or PAX West last year. Ben Wander’s A Case of Distrust really took me by surprise. It’s definitely a game I might have overlooked otherwise, but the visual style and design choices struck a chord in […]
Another fun game out of PAX South 2018 was Sleep Tight, by We Are Fuzzy. They’re an indie team comprised of veterans from both the gaming and video industry, which makes for a really good combination of visual and gameplay. Visually the game has a cartoon-esque feel, but not to the point where it doesn’t […]
Episode 91. January 12th, 2018. This is our PAX South episode, and also the first time Mike and I have ever recorded in the same room. Heads up on the audio: Because we used a different setup for recording on the fly, the audio is totally unbalanced (Andrew is less quiet than Mike but we’re […]

The latest game from Exordium Games is called Last Encounter, a twin-stick roguelike shooter that takes you and up to 4 players on a trip across the galaxy to build the most powerful weapon in existence. Your ships are customizable and can be modified with weapon components found along the way to make some seriously […]
You’ve probably seen my coverage of this game here, some of my tweets about it (#arcadeisnotdead), and one time we did an on-the-floor podcast here. What I’m trying to get across is that I’ve had some time on this game, and getting to see how much more polished it is from the last time I […]
I’d never seen The Messenger before, but was immediately drawn to this game when I passed the booth this weekend at PAX South. It’s a retro styled (8 and 16 bit) action platformer that throws nods to games of the past. Take a mix of Ninja Gaiden and some RPG elements, but it plays like […]
The crowds surrounding the two giant displays at the PHL Collective booth gave me a great feeling when I went to check out ClusterPuck 99. People were excited about the match they were involved in and everyone watching seemed to be just as hyped up. It’s a classic couch multiplayer game that mixes a combination […]
