Gaming

'Hades II' is everything you want in a sequel: fun, quick, full of character and even more addicting than the original.

Two of the world's most famous games are combined into a multi-tiered thinking game requiring vocabulary and clever addition.

During the four days of PAX East I get a chance to explore many different types of games, some big, some small and others that just connect in a way I did not expect. In the case of Hollow Home I was struck by the messaging and effective game design …

It's always a great time at PAX East checking out the charitable Cookie Brigade, Lethal Shadows miniatures and Many Worlds Tavern's coffee and tea.

The final day of PAX East was full of tournaments, giveaways and great games like 'Tape to Tape,' 'Dragon is Dead' and 'Gudnak'.

Dressed in an incredibly stylish jacket, which he had designed just for PAX East, Suda sat with me and his translator to play a quick round of blackjack and talk about his games and career.

The game-play is a mix of exploration, planning, base building and combat when there is no other choice.

The third day of PAX East was filled with exploration and great games like 'The Big Con,' 'Fretless,' 'Wizordum' and 'Turbo Overkill.'

'Star Wars Unlimited' is a deep and engaging CCG that hooked me right away with mechanics and style that felt true to the source material.

Players lay tiles of the elements to build a new world, each vying to become the master.
