Civilization: The Board Game from Fantasy Flight Games is no mere global Monopoly, no svelte Catan. It is a complicated affair and one that’s not so easy to capture on video.
I keep asking people who I run into at PAX East to tell me which games I should check out. Thank you, to whoever told me to try Warp. I think it was Eka, hype man extraordinaire for Monday Night Combat. I’m glad I went. Warp lets you be an alien who can warp through doors, into exploding barrels or into scientists and guards — to make them explode too. No release date, slated for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network and PC. Trapdoor’s the developer; EA is publishing. I want to play more.
Child of Eden, spiritual successor to Dreamcast classic Rez is the most colourful, trippy Xbox 360 Kinect game I’ve ever seen. It’ll be out on June 14. Coming to PS3 too. Here it it, played live, at PAX East.
