Child’s Play charity is up and running

by Danielle Riendeau on Nov 8, 2009 at 07:50 PM

Gamers, the holiday season is upon us. And while we’re all ogling the amazing games (it is the prime time for big releases, after all) and scoping out the big sales, it certainly doesn’t hurt to give back. Child’s Play (run by the guys at the Penny Arcade) is a… Continue Reading »

The independent gamers gathering, Penny Arcade Expo (aka PAX), has made it to a sixth year (which cannot be said for some corporate sponsored expos). The event will take place September 4 through 6, 2009, at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center in downtown Seattle, Washington. The family-friendly gaming… Continue Reading »

Twin Skies changing the MMO playbook

by Mark Rollins on Sep 18, 2008 at 08:28 PM

At PAX 08 I had a chance to visit Twin Skies’ booth.  What I found out about Twin Skies is the truth in their slogan of being “much more than an MMO”.  It appears that Meteor Games is trying to do more than just create the next Everquest or World… Continue Reading »

Preview of Mirror’s Edge from PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Sep 12, 2008 at 09:43 PM

This isn’t the first time that we have reported on Mirror’s Edge, a soon-to-be released game from EA, and I am guessing it won’t be the last.  Mirror’s Edge is a game I described in a previous article as a first-person shooter without any shooting but I was wrong about… Continue Reading »

First Impressions: Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Danger at PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Sep 12, 2008 at 05:05 PM

While I was at PAX 08, I saw a demo of South Peak’s Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Danger.  I was surprised that this game was not getting the attention that it should be getting. Raven Squad is a hybrid of first-person shooter and strategy genres resulting in a rare and… Continue Reading »

Preview of Velvet Assassin from PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Sep 11, 2008 at 12:44 PM

I had the opportunity to try Gamecock’s Velvet Assassin in an appropriately dark, curtained back room at this year’s PAX 08. After all, the game’s tagline is, “Battles are won on the fronts but wars are won in the shadows.” In Velvet Assassin the protagonist is Violette Summer, a British… Continue Reading »

Beyond PAX:  EA’s, Bioware’s Dragon Age: Origins

by Mark Rollins on Sep 8, 2008 at 06:13 PM

I believe that I promised a follow-up about Dragon Age: Origins, a soon-to-be released game from EA and Bioware.  I briefly mentioned in another article that the Bioware booth was devoted to Dragon Age: Origins, and it was completely enclosed.  PAX attendees had to wait in line to enter into… Continue Reading »

Firsthand look at the Fallout 3 Booth at PAX 08

by Mark Rollins on Sep 8, 2008 at 04:36 PM

I realize that we have covered Fallout 3’s presence at PAX before, but I got a chance to experience it firsthand.  Bethesda Software had one of the biggest gamer magnets at the Penny Arcade Expo this year. It was tough getting through the crowd (which is where a media badge… Continue Reading »
