Phogs
Way back in the day, when the show CatDog came out on Nickelodeon, a friend of mine turned to me and asked the question "So which end does it poop out of?" That same question came to mind and made me chuckle as I played Phogs at PAX East.

Time Keeps on Slipping for Us in Planet Alpha

According to a related report by Kotaku a secret studio within developer 2K is working on a new BioShock game. The secret studio, and its project, were both referred to with the codename Parkside, which likely refers to the location of the studio more than anything to do with the game.

Taking Survival to the Next Level with North Star Games' Evolution
Probably the happiest group of people we came across at PAX East this year were the crew from North Star Games, who follow by a creed of making games more about having fun than about winning. That's the experience we got from the first game they showed us in Evolution, both as a card game and an app.
Checking Out What Dell and Alienware Had to Show at PAX East

A Detective With A Heart of Gin and Regret in Disco Elysium
There are times when you come across a game where it looks like the designers did all the right things and then somehow threw a sack of dirt on everything to make you feel grimy playing it. That's how we felt picking up the demo for Disco Elysium from Humble Bundle at PAX East.
