Valve’s Left 4 Dead due to be released November 2008

by Mark Rollins on Sep 4, 2008 at 08:33 AM

As you can see from this photo I took from PAX, someone has given Left 4 Dead, a new game from Valve, the finger.  Or, more accurately, the thumb.  Left 4 Dead takes place during that time that we all know is coming, when zombies walk the Earth.  What makes… Continue Reading »

Final thoughts about PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Sep 2, 2008 at 07:16 PM

Some of you might recognize the above comic as Penny Arcade, whose creators also ran the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) last weekend in Seattle, WA (USA).  While the above comic represents industry-focused expo E3, it does not at all summarize the fan-focused experience that is PAX.  One of the things… Continue Reading »

Gamecock makes like an arcade at PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Aug 31, 2008 at 06:50 PM

I have to admire the way Gamecock set up its booth at PAX 08.  It was enclosed with transparent plastic and in very low light, like arcades of the ‘80s.  To complete the illusion of a video arcade, players would even stand up as they played the game in arcade-style… Continue Reading »

South Peak’s new games on display at PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Aug 31, 2008 at 06:14 PM

I had a great time at the South Peak booth, and I can honestly say that it has nothing to do with the lady in this picture.  No, she represents one of several games that South Peak has available soon including X Blades, Ninja Town, Big Bang Mini, TOW and… Continue Reading »

EA’s new games on display at PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Aug 31, 2008 at 05:37 PM

You’ve got to hand it to EA for creating a presence at PAX.  They had not just one but three booths on the floor, plus several others related to them.  Here are the games they had on display, some more prominently than others… Continue Reading »

Hands on with Jumpgate Evolution at PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Aug 31, 2008 at 02:33 PM

The entrance to PAX 08 had an impressive display of Jumpgate Evolution, a new MMO space combat game made by Codemasters Online and NetDevil.  The moment I saw it, I couldn’t help but to compare it to Eve Online.  It was hard not to, as it is an MMO game… Continue Reading »

Flying Labs shows off Pirates of the Burning Sea at PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Aug 31, 2008 at 01:54 PM

Flying Labs, the developers of the MMO pirate game Pirates of the Burning Sea, had essentially the same demo of PotBS that they had at last year’s PAX (2007).  If you haven’t played this game yet, then you really should.  Like any MMO game, you can custom build a character… Continue Reading »

Cryptic Studios and the PAX Party of Champions

by Mark Rollins on Aug 30, 2008 at 09:04 PM

Cryptic Studios was in a party mood on Friday night (August 29, 2008) of PAX, hosting a big shindig at Seattle’s Public Library.  Since Cryptic was celebrating the soon-to-be released Champions Online, there were superheroes present.  I learned a lot about the Champions Online game.  At first I was wondering… Continue Reading »

His impressive resume consists of System Shock 2, the Freedom Force series, Tribes: Vengeance and, of course, Bioshock.  I… Continue Reading »
