Death Road to Canada, Laser League, more added to Xbox Store
We’re heading into the weekend with a handful of a new Xbox One games as part of today’s Xbox Games Store update…
Rocketcat’s Death Road to Canada is sitting at the front of the pack, and players will be able to randomize the game’s apocalypse with a different (and increasingly absurd) story every time they play. Also available to download today is Laser League, a neon-coated future sport from developer Roll7.
You can learn more about both of these games, and the rest of today’s additions to the Xbox Games Store, after the break. (more…)

Tacoma, Trailblazers, Laser League, more coming to PS Store this week
It looks like a big batch of new PS4 games will be added to the PlayStation Store this week…
Leading the way is Fullbright’s Tacoma, an adventure game that tasks players with discovering what happened to the six crewmembers aboard a doomed space station. However, sunnier options are also available.
Supergonk’s Trailblazers mixes the futuristic racing of F-Zero with Splatoon’s competitive painting. Roll7’s Laser League borrows the neon-heavy aesthetic of Tron for a team-based future sport. MakinGames rolled the clock back to the punk stylings of Streets of Rage to inform their side-scrolling beat ’em up, Raging Justice. And Idea Factory’s Megadimension Neptunia VIIR gives the latest entry in the popular RPG franchise a VR-infused makeover.
Also set to launch this week is the post-apocalyptic Death Road to Canada, the survival-adventure of Conan Exiles, and puzzle-platformer Subaeria. WayForward will also release Shantae: Half-Genie Hero – Ultimate Edition, a bundle that includes the original game and both expansions.
You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the PlayStation Store after the break. (more…)

Interview: Traveling the Death Road to Canada with Rocketcat’s Kepa Auwae
In our most recent Kickstart This! feature, the Sweet September Edition, we highlighted Rocketcat Games’ Death Road to Canada, a top-down “randomized permadeth road trip simulator” that pits you against mobs of undead hoardes while trying to survive the apocalypse. The game proved to be popular among Kickstarter backers, roaring across its $25,000 goal line and currently sitting at more than $40,000. With a few hours to go, we spoke with Kepa Auwae, the game’s Lead Designer, to discuss zombies, gaming inspirations, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. (more…)
