Dying Light First Impressions

you're forgiven if your response was, "wait, that zombie game?" Even though the marketing did an terrible job of explaining the RPG side of Dying Light, I've spent a few hours with the game and have no reservations: Dying Light has the reanimated heart of a roleplaying game.

PAX South 2015: One Gigantic Interview

Of all the new games I tried at PAX South, my favorite had to be Gigantic, Motiga's arena battler, with its colorful and diverse cast of characters and smooth, accessible gameplay. After a couple of games, in which I performed surprisingly well (I'm as surprised as you are) I had the chance to sit down with Joe Pikop, Gigantic's Lead Character Artist and talk about how the game looks and plays.

Just last month, I wrote about some alternatives to GW2's Living World, with an expansion being the obvious choice to drive the post-launch game forward and create a new revenue stream.
