PAX East Archives

The last item we received from our visit with ThinkGeek at their booth at PAX East was this cool Wall Mounted Bottle Opener from Bethesda, created specifically with the Nuka-Cola product in mind from the Fallout series Its a small item and there isn't a lot to write about it, primarily because this item serves[...]

Another fun item we managed to pick up from the ThinkGeek booth over at PAX East was an interesting officially licensed Nintendo product I never thought I'd see them brand as they produced a Cartridge Canteen To be clear, I've seen this product before in different forms as other companies have created knock-off versions that[...]

So when I was hanging out at PAX East and got a moment to breath between appointments, I popped by their booth looking for some additions to make to the current pile, and something new to possibly use for the future After all, if you're playing a character in Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder, your[...]

We're big fans of the crew at Skybound Games, and when we had a brief moment between appointments, we dropped by their booth at PAX East to say hello and check out what they had to offer Along with playing a brand new game involving movie scripts, we got to snag two new expansion packs[...]

As we are one to do, we made our way over to the ThinkGeek booth at PAX East to say hi and see how things are going And is the case sometimes, we got a few items from the event to properly review One of the many unexpected items to come our way this year was[...]

When we tried out the brief demo of Genesis Noir from Surprise Attack Games at PAX East, that fear was instantly quelled The game is a detective story based before the Big Bang ever happened, which is an odd concept to be sure, but it works well within the context of the story given to[...]

Flash-forward eight months and here we are at PAX East checking out an improved demo of the title from Merge Games The game puts you in the position of a faceless dungeon slayer who is running around in first-person mode with a sword and some magic skills looking to slay anything and everything in your[...]

One of the last appointments I had at PAX East this year came from the crew at Surprise Attack Games They had a number of games on display, some we'd seen before and others we hadn't One of the brand new games on the table for us to see was a game called The Stillness Of[...]

This time around they were on the main floor of PAX East showing off the game in custom-made arcade cabinets for people to play The game has been out for the Nintendo Switch since December, but we feel it deserved a lot more attention than it originally received If you haven't checked out the game[...]

Probably one of the funniest games we came across on the last day of PAX East came to us from Iceberg Interactive in the form of Headsnatchers If you didn't get the concept from the title, it's basically a game where you snatch heads off your opponent's bodies The game is a multiplayer melee game[...]

Nearing the end of our last day at PAX East, we made our way over to the Iceberg Interactive booth to try out a couple different games The first one on the list turned out to be the last racing title of the con with Antigraviator This is basically one of those racing games where you[...]

Citadel Games' Legends of Aria is an MMO designed to be controlled more by the players than by the game developers themselves. Its an open form MMO that flies in the face of what we expect from MMORPGs these days, because it is pretty much nothing like World of Warcraft.

But the folks at Ask An Enemy Studios decided to up the ante, as we saw int he game they brought to PAX East with Trackher The game has two mechanics going for it that are, to put it mildly, a pain in the ass to deal with On the left side of the screen,[...]

I'm so down for a living world that reacts to my actions as a player, especially when that world is a spooky underground dungeon. Now, this game was demoed during PAX East, and I was pretty excited to get a chance to play around with it The demo was basically an open sandbox to play around[...]

We always have fun chatting with the people at Jinx, so we were particularly interested to go check out their booth at PAX East this year as they would be showing off a few new items that we desperately need in our closet The first thing we did was snag ourselves the exclusive hoodie they had[...]

We weren't making the same mistake twice as we visited with the crew on the last day of PAX East This is your tried and true NBA Jam kind of two-on-two basketball game where you and a partner, whether that be the CPU or a friend, take on two others in some mad street b-ball[...]

If you've ever wanted to play a game that was basically a first-person view of an action film, you're in luck, as the last game we saw from Rising Star Games at PAX East was their cop drama shooter RICO The game is basically you int he role of a cop picking specific weapons to[...]

The second game we got to try out at the Rising Star Games booth over at PAX East last week was a little racing game they made with a couple different twists called Trailblazers The game kind of works like your average racer at the start where you pick a racer and that specific person[...]

One the final day of PAX East, we got to hit up the booth from Rising Star Games where they had several games on display for us to try, the first of which was an action RPG title called Decay Of Logos The game was described to us as a mix of "European folklore, high fantasy[...]

One of the shorter but friendlier visits we got to have at PAX East was when we checked out the booth for Cygames, who were basically there to show off all the titles they were bringing to the states from Japan and looking ahead to the future The primary game they were showing off but[...]

We, unfortunately, didn't get to book much of anything with Nintendo this time around at PAX East inside their booth The one appointment we were able to secure was with inside developer Henchman & Goon who wanted to show off their game Pode on the Nintendo Switch The game revolves around a co-op system where[...]

While Blizzard was on the scene at PAX West, their primary focus (which we'll discuss later) was on World of Warcraft, while Overwatch was more of a featured attraction this time around for fans to have fun with.

During our visit to PAX East last week, we got to check in with a few people here and there that we've chatted with before One of those groups was the team behind DropMix, as they had a few things to pass out and show us First off, we got these two convention exclusive cards you see[...]

Which is why we enjoyed seeing a new version stray away from that in Monopoly Gamer from Hasbro, which we saw at PAX East As you can see below from the version they sent us when we got home from the event, the game focuses on Nintendo's Mario Kart with a simplified board and a[...]

Limbic Entertainment GmbH and 505 Games' Memories of Mars is a sci-fi survival open-world game with a decent bit of tower-defense mechanics thrown in there.

One of the few racing titles we came across at PAX East came to us on the final day of the convention as Wired Productions showed off their new futuristic title GRIP One of the first things we were asked before playing it was "Do you remember F-Zero?" To which my brain went "Of course, I[...]

So knowing the stigma that the original Shaq Fu has on it, (as well as our own memories of playing it) we went into our demo of Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn at PAX East with a little bit of hesitation but still kept a space open in our minds for some home But the beginning[...]

The last game we got to check out from NIS America while they visited PAX East was another dungeon crawler title with a bit of a twist to it called Dungeons with Labyrinth of Refrain: Coven of Dusk. The game keeps to the regular dungeon crawler aspect you would find in a lot of games in[...]

One of the games we got to try out from NIA America at PAX East was SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy, and I knew the minute I picked it up that it didn't matter what I wrote about this game, those who are going to buy it will buy it no matter what I write. This game[...]

Another game from the NIS America library that we got a preview of over at PAX East was The Lost Child, which will eventually be coming out in June 2018 as well While a lot of the story was kept vague to use for the purposes of not spoiling anything, it was very clear that[...]
