Welcome to my PAX Media Pass FAQ! agent86ix and I just got back from attending the first PAX South as Media, and it was so fun! We learned a lot from the experience, so I thought I'd try to compile all of the lessons learned and share with any fellow bloggers, youtubers, or podcasters who are considering taking a crack at it. I hope you find it helpful, and if you've got other tips or feedback leave a comment!
The new year means new games! I'll dig myself out of post-winter-sale hibernation to check out Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, Age of Wonders 3, and Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag.
Wow, what a weekend! EBongo and I spent 3 days checking out the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX South) in San Antonio, and we saw so many good games! We spent most of the ride back to Austin discussing our favorites. In this article, we'll pick our top games from the expo floor!
The music, the art, the 1920s setting, and even the silhouette-puppet-show-plot (which some have been overly critical of) all had me perfectly immersed, but unfortunately I was plagued in the harder puzzles by various scenarios that would cause me to "pop out" of the shadow world back into the real world, and usually to my death. It seems a reasonable design decision that if something crushes you in the shadow world you should fall back into the real world, but more often than not this phenomenon seemed to happen when I was walking on perfectly solid shadows (a little hard to say that without smirking). It's a pity these little blips couldn't be slightly more ironed out - because they are a small blemish on an otherwise outstanding game. I played past them and finished the game, but I can imagine some will get frustrated and give up.
I have spent the past few months playing around with Steam In-Home Streaming. I've run into issues, solved error messages, and discovered a few handy tips and tricks. In this article, I'll give you guys the lowdown on maximizing your Steam In-Home Streaming experience.
I've played a lot of Civilization, and I've played a fair bit of Heroes of Might and Magic over the years. Age of Wonders 3 shares a lot of similarities with these two series, and it came with a high recommendation from a friend. I grabbed it during the Steam winter sale, and I'm just now cracking it open and trying to figure it out. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like the first couple of missions taught me well enough to survive, so I've put together this guide to help other players out.
Trivia Crack has taken the app stores by storm. Etermax's infectious trivia game may have been born in South America, but it is clear that the US now has the fever (and I count myself among the stricken). The game has incredible polish, and while slightly derivative of the "Trivial Pursuit" model actually takes the genre much further with battle modes and plenty of user interaction (including user generated questions!). After many hours played, I've noted the following Trivia Crack tips that will help you get in the groove if you're a new comer.
Pikaware's Tile Enigma launches for iOS devices today, and it brings a new take on the "color matching" puzzle genre. In our review, we'll tell you what Tile Enigma is about, and whether or not it is worth playing. Along the way, we'll chat with Pikaware's Tammy and Chris Ball about the game and its inspiration.
The holidays are in full effect, so let's honor a dying man's last wish with To The Moon, buy a bunch of cheap foreign goods from Tropico 4, spend time with our Grove Street family in GTA: San Andreas, get really drunk and punchy in Pixel Piracy, and magically teleport from rooftop to rooftop, delivering... "presents" in Dishonored.
