No, that’s not a typo. Welcome to the Weekly Warp-Up, your weekly wrap-up of the biggest and the best articles posted at Warp Zoned this week…
Usually, I can find some kind of unifying theme to the events of the most recent week, but not this week. So welcome to the “Grab Bag Edition” of the Weekly Warp-Up, please don’t be scared off by the randommness.
This week, we continued to dig into our Grab Bag of PAX Prime Goodies and came up with Hands-On Previews of Pokemon X/Y and the Borderlands 2 mini-expansion, T.K. Baha’s Bloody Harvest. Speaking of PAX Prime, the show floor is home to a ton of indie developers and we here at Warp Zoned love indie developers. It’s why we turn the spotlight on them at least once a month in our Kickstart This! column, which we did again this week.
Alright, enough with the ranom, you can find more news from this past week after the break.
