Here’s an honest confession: I try to avoid making appointments for the same game two shows in a row. It becomes a little odd to play through the same bits of game again, with the same people, only months or sometimes weeks apart. You know all the motions, the
Laura stumbled on a prototype game that caught her eye at PAX South in San Antonio. The game, Zombie Tower 3D, is already a hit in Japan, but this Summer the developers are going to take a shot at bringing it to North American shores. We sat down with developers
