May IndieBox Unwrapped – Galak-Z!

Posted on May 3, 2016 by Renee Gittins

This month’s IndieBox was a particularly exciting one for me, featuring Galak-Z, a critically acclaimed, action-packed dog-fighting game with a space ship that transforms into a sword-wielding mech! How cool is that? Better yet, the box itself features a figurine of this awesome ship that you’ll use with both your stealth and fighting skills to take down intelligent enemies. Oh, and did I mention that there are TWO OTHER GAMES IN HERE? Starr Mazer DSP F. Squadron, a rogue-like scrolling shooter and prelude to the upcoming game Starr Mazer, and Planet Diver, a fast-spaced, space-chasm diving action game.

Posted on May 2, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

Ark: Survival Evolved
At PAX East 2016 we got the chance to ask Jesse Rapczak from Studio Wildcard some questions from the ARK: Survival Evolved community. Topics varied from: Will we ever see popular community mods in the console version of the game? Will we ever get Greek Fire throwables? And most importantly – Why are canons so OP? Surprisingly Studio Wildcard had a major announcement that happened to coincide with our interview – that Primitive+ and The Center will both becoming to the Xbox One version of ARK: Survival Evolved.  The Center, a fantasy themed map that more than doubles the playable

LawBreakers was the best game at PAX East

Posted on May 2, 2016 by Fionna Schweit

The most fun I had playing a game at the recent PAX East convention wasn’t as I had expected one of the many Xbox games on demo (gears 4, Mirrors Edge 2) or even the VR experiences. It was in fact a new twist on the old school genre of the arena shooter. That game is called LawBreakers from Nexon, and it’s incredible. Arena shooter are nothing new, this year alone we have Gearbox and 2K’s cell shaded Battle Born, Blizzard’s massive Overwatch, and now LawBreakers. Arena shooters it would seem are back, and I for one could not be happier.

Construction comes to Planetside 2

Posted on May 2, 2016 by Fionna Schweit

Planetside 2 has a special place in my heart, its a game that basically lets you drop in for an hour or two, shoot some stuff, then hop off, the world goes on with out you. During my price of playing circa 2013 I was in a pretty good outfit of about 50 players, so there were always ops going on. I have since dropped the game from my rotation (there are just too many games to play!) but this newest update has be chomping at the bit to get back in to the world for at least a little
