HSEL – Unilad
The High School Esports League (HSEL) recently unveiled the HSEL Gaming Concepts – a high school curriculum that aims to translate student’s love of video games into improving academic success and attitude.
The Vale – Game Informer
…there are always a handful of titles that stand out for being incredibly outside-of-the-box in their design and execution. This year, that short list includes The Vale, which is a game you can’t see at all. Developed by Falling Squirrel, the team consulted with The Canadian National Institute for the Blind and have created something quite unlike the vast majority of games out there.
LAMO – CNET
LAMO's first wave of vinyls are of Fortnite streamer Ninja and four other gaming influencers -- summit1g, LIRIK, TimTheTatman and Dr. DisRespect..
Atari VCS – Vanity
Atari has created one of the most appealing set-top PCs I’ve ever seen.
White Wolf Entertainment
Vampire: The Masquerade is a tabletop role-playing game that has long been steeped in controversy. Since the first few editions were published in the early 1990s, the game has been criticized for its dark and erotic themes. Fans would say that detractors are simply missing the point.
World of Warships: Legends
World of Warships: Legends is officially coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2019, with an Alpha test coming this July.
Gameforge
Publisher Gameforge is now in control and will release Kingdom Under Fire 2 on PC in Europe and North America later this year…
Able Gamers – Adaptive Controller
Microsoft partnered with a number of organizations while developing the Adaptive Controller, including The AbleGamers Charity, The Cerebral Palsy Foundation, SpecialEffect, Warfighter Engaged and Craig Hospital to help ensure the device was properly optimized.
The Hollywood Reporter
‘[With The Vale] we are hoping to make a game that will satisfy members of the blind community who have been playing games all their lives, as well as those coming to games for the first time,’ says Falling Squirrel studio’s creative director David Evans..
8 Circuit Studios
It’s an incredibly ambitious concept that’s difficult to wrap our heads around, but game companies like 8 Circuit Studios -- comprised of industry veterans with a century of combined experience from Nintendo, Microsoft and Electronic Arts -- realize that a relatively new technology makes this possible: blockchain.
MageQuit – Gameinformer
Bowlcut Studios combines spell-drafting and frenetic spell slinging in MageQuit.
Wargaming
A new three-part expansion for World of Tanks: War Stories, called 'Spoils of War,' is available now on Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 4, developer Wargaming announced today.
Aftercharge
What I enjoy most from Aftercharge so far is how
each class ability encourages a wide range of both large
and small tactics without being overshadowed by an
overriding mechanic like Overwatch’s ultimates.
AbleGamers
AbleGamers is also a thriving community of gamers
with and without disabilities working and playing
together to help improve the quality of life for people
with disabilities through the power of video games.
Atari Speakerhat
The Atari Speakerhat is shockingly comfortable, nondescript,
and absolutely suited for everyday wear. The word ‘premium’
was brandied about in the press materials, and that word fits.
It looks, feels, and wears like a regular, quality, sturdy baseball cap.
Gunpowder
Gunpowder is more than just a pretty face, and brings
with it physics-based puzzle gameplay that balances on
the fine line of accessible yet satisfying. 4 ½ out of 5 Stars!
ESL
ESL, a massive league for competitive gaming, is announcing
a new set of tools that the company is specifically marketing to
independent game developers. Called ESL Matchmaking, this tool can
quickly connect players or teams against one another for head-to-head matchups.
Ninja Gaiden
Ninja Gaiden worked in large part because it matched
its ruthless difficulty with fast, accurate controls, but
The Messenger puts even that 8-bit masterpiece to shame.
Atari
Atari is stepping back into the hardware business with
a new game console — its first in more than 20 years.
A Hat in Time
A Hat in Time is full of surprises, and, more importantly,
is a blast to play.
Past Cure
Past Cure is meant to satisfy the horror junkie in you
and take you on a disturbing trip.
