25 Aug 2011Alex Mercer just won’t die. At least that’s what I took away from an introductory video shown before a demo of Prototype 2 at a pre-PAX Activision event. In the video, the military group Blackwatch explains its with Mercer, basically that it thought him dead twice and wa proven wrong both times. So perhaps it’s [...]

13 Mar 2011I’m a sucker for Metroidvania-style games — even though I hate that name for them — so I was immediately excited to try developer Moonshot Studios’ side-scrolling cooperative shooter, Fallen Frontier.

13 Mar 2011Realistic racers with realistic cars don’t appeal to me very much. If I’m going to drive around a track during my gaming time, I want stuff to blow up every once in a while. Seems like a reasonable request, right? Developer Isopod Labs and publisher Autumn Games oblige my taste for virtual fiery doom with [...]

You and a buddy will play as two Aperture robots. One is tall and thin and looks like it’s made out of a turret, the [...]

20 Sep 2010Even though I had heard a lot about Hydrophobia, I still didn’t know what to expect as I sat down to play it at PAX. I knew it was a third-person action game with impressive water physics, but that was all. Turns out there’s a lot more to Hydrophobia than just pretty water, and the [...]

14 Sep 2010I had my doubts at first. I thought it was impossible to make Assassin’s Creed into a multiplayer game, but after getting some hands-on time with it at PAX, I’m now a believer. This multiplayer is unlike anything else. It combines moments of slow-building tension with moments of fast-paced action, silent hunts, and high-speed chases, [...]
