Supergiant Games has confirmed that Transistor will be playable at this year’s PAX East expo:

Transistor made its public debut during last year’s PAX East show. In addition to touting one of the longest lines of the entire expo, the game’s booth featured visits from Logan Cunningham (the voice behind the titular Transistor), Darren Korb (Supergiant’s in-house music man), and lead developer Greg Kasavin during the weekend. In June, Sony revealed that Transistor would exclusively launch on the PC and PS4 in early 2014.

While we know that Transistor will be playable at PAX East 2014, whoever is behind Supergiant’s Twitter feed has so far ignored tweets asking if the game will be released before or after April 11, the first day of the convention.

Roundabout is headed to Xbox One, GDC, and PAX East

Posted on February 12, 2014 by Nicole Kline

Roundabout, the “city with a twist,” will be coming to Xbox One as part of the ID@Xbox program. Developer No Goblin is “super honored to be included with one of the first waves of developers to release through the program,” according to their website. (And yes, they “will investigate yelling “Xbox, HONK HONK” to activate the limo’s horn.” Ha!)

The game will be playable at GDC next month, for those who want to try it out early. And if you can’t make it to GDC, they’ll also have their own booth at PAX East in April. So that’s two great chances for you to take the limo for a spin… literally!

Roundabout is currently available for pre-order for Windows, Mac, and Linux at No Goblin’s website right now for $9.99. The developers will be announcing a release date soon.

First Evolve trailer, “Happy Hunting,” hints at PAX East debut

Posted on February 11, 2014 by John Scalzo

2K Games and Turtle Rock Studios have released the first trailer for Evolve, the latest cooperative shooter from the creators of Left 4 Dead.

The trailer, officially known as “Happy Hunting,” uses pre-rendered video to show us the game’s four character classes including a heavy weapons guy, a shield/healer specialist, a defensive character (check out the harpoon gun), and a jetpack-besuited butterfly woman. The cinematic battle against a raging alien is also sountracked to an awesome cover of Danzig’s “Mother” by Lissie.

I’m not sure what to make of Evolve, but this first trailer definitely ticked a few of my pop culture boxes including a pinch of Predator, a dash of Muldoon from Jurassic Park, and a bit of Duck Dynasty. But we’ll get a closer look at Evolve in April as Turtle Rock and 2K plan to bring the game to PAX East in some form.

Evolve is in development for the PC, PS4, and Xbox One and will be released this Fall.
