Afternoon Livestream Recap: Titanfall

Posted on February 17, 2016 by Rae Michelle Richards

EA / Respawn’s Titanfall might not get a lot of play two years after its release but it is still a lot of fun. This past afternoon I bolted myself into my mech and enjoyed a few rounds of Titanfall on Twitch.TV. Here’s a video recap of a couple matches – make note that I tend to die a lot.

Fortified is a new third person shooter tower defense hybrid from developer Clapfoot. It’s a tale as old as sci-fi – Martians are invading! They want something from us, and only a small group of American 1950s stereotypes can help save us! The US government has recruited a rocket scientist, a secret agent, a space-man, and a captain to fight against hordes of aliens in an attempt to defend the Earth! Or at least, the rocket ship that will save the earth.  This will be a familiar formula to anyone who has played Orcs Must Die: you start on a
