Sony and Hasbro Shows Off Spider-man During E3

Fantasy Flight continues to dominate the themed board games market by applying the mechanics of Games Workshop’s epic adventure title, Talisman, to a new title set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.  The result is a lengthy, brutal experience that can be as fun as it is frustrating.

After over 20 years of voicing the Dark Knight Kevin Conroy will not be reprising his role in the upcoming Batman: Arkham Origins.

The latest offering from Plaid Hat Games, following 2012’s excellent child-friendly dungeon crawler Mice & Mystics, is a rather brilliant title that’s difficult to describe concisely.  Incorporating elements of territory control, worker placement, deck building, auctioning, and tile placement to name a few, City of Remnants is a unique experience that’s surprisingly simple and, above…

Since its inception, BioShock has stood as one of the greatest gaming franchises of a generation – a shining example of video games as an art form and as a vessel to tell engrossing, thought-provoking stories.  Its latest iteration, set in a fantastic new world, takes players on mind-bending thrill ride that they aren’t likely to…

We sat down with the newly released Lord of the Rings Deck Building Game and had a blast — read on to check out our impressions.

We got some time in with the latest Walking Dead-themed tabletop title – a very light, easy-to-pick-up card game from Cryptozoic that will help you pass the time until the next season airs.

Following the success of Telltale Games’ brilliant and moving series of downloadable games based on The Walking Dead comic series, it was only a matter of time until gamers would see a spin-off of AMC’s hit show. Unfortunately, as is the case with so many licensed titles, it simply fails to live up to its potential…

The Behemoth is a developer that’s easy to love.  Their previous two titles, Alien Hominid and Castle Crashers, share a unique style that puts them in a class of their own.  Known for their signature and adorably quirky artwork, they’ve hit that perfect balance between accessibility for the casual crowd and ultra-tight, interesting gameplay for…

Ubisoft had a truly commanding presence at the Penny Arcade Expo this year and one of their most popular attractions was the large theater in the center of the show floor screening exclusive footage of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.

Deep Silver’s immersive first-person, cooperative shooter returns the characters to an island setting they thought they had left behind to relive the nightmare all over again.  At this year’s PAX East, housed in Square Enix’s booth space, Dead Island had a nice little display area hosting a twenty-minute long demo, complete with headsets and mics for…

In comparison to previous years, it seemed indie developers had the run of the floor at PAX East 2013, showing off a huge number of great projects for PC, iOS, and current-gen consoles alike.  Without a doubt though, one game, even in its early stages, stole the show – Tiny Brains.

Bethesda hit PAX East full force this year.  Their booth had a commanding presence as a gigantic screen running a looped Elder Scrolls Online trailer stopped con-goers dead in their tracks and throngs of gamers queued up to catch a few minutes of hands-on time with the upcoming title.

While ESO was the focal point of Bethesda’s PAX East booth, I was able to get some hands on time with a fantastic upcoming DLC addition to last year’s Dishonored, entitled “The Knife of Dunwall.”

Fans at this year’s PAX East waited hours upon hours outside of Ubisoft’s enormous multi-theater display to catch a glimpse of their Watch Dogs presentation.  The game has plenty of buzz circulating it and with good reason — Watch Dogs looks to be one of the most creative and ambitious video game titles in years.

Behind closed doors at this year’s PAX East in Boston, we were able to sit down with Scott Lee, the art director for Ubsoft’s upcoming Splinter Cell: Blacklist, for an intimate look at the gameplay and new features the game will offer when it’s released this summer.
