PAX West Hands-On: Bayonetta 3

The Bayonetta series is probably one of the most infamous cult classics coming out of studio PlatinumGames.

PAX West Hands-on: Demonschool

“This looks just like old school Persona!” That’s the reaction I heard ringing out from everyone who saw Demonschool on the PAX West show floor. And, to be honest, it’s hard to blame them.

PAX West 2017 Quick-Look: Middle-Earth: Shadow of War

When I’m out at gaming conventions, I usually tend to spend my time amongst the indie booths and displays from small studios. It’s usually the best way to play more games – everyone else is waiting in the two-hour-long lines at the AAA booths, leaving little-to-no wait elsewhere. While my gaming tastes usually lend well

PAX West 2017 Quick-Look: Legrand Legacy

“A love letter to gaming’s past.” Various permutations of that phrase pop up when a developer is purposely trying to create a “retro” style title, said either by the developer itself or us journalists writing about them.

PAX West 2017 Quick-Look: Necrobarista

Narrative-driven adventure games or visual novels don’t tend to be very common on the floor of a gaming convention.
