PAX 2008: Hands on with Valkyria Chronicles
A turn based, tactical RPG set in an alternate 1930s wartime reality. This sounds eerily familiar to another game which I recently reviewed here. The small country of Gallia has been doing all it can to stay out of a world wide conflict between the... - Read the full story

Review: Madden NFL 09I don't know about you, but I can't believe it's been 20 years since the first Madden game. I didn't play that initial vision of games to come, as it would be another 4 years before getting trounced by my roommate in my freshman residence hall room. Ahh, even to this... - Read the full review
Phoenix410 from the Post Game Report (and head dude of Team Woot) sat down with us for a few minutes to talk about his experiences with Left 4 Dead and Gears of War 2, which were two of his favorite games on the show room floor at this year's PAX.
He also tells us a true story about how Morgan Webb from G4 unceremoniously cut in front of him in line at Gears of War 2.
Be sure and come back tomorrow for Part 2 of our video interview with Phoenix, which has quite possibly one of the funniest moments of PAX 2008.
CooperativePeon, a community member from Talking About Games, sat down with us for a few minutes to talk about his hands-on experience with LittleBigPlanet, the sandbox platforming title coming soon for the PlayStation 3. Peon tells us about some of the demo levels he played, where it ranked for him in his overall list of titles for the year, and what he thinks about the general experience.
In this video from PAX 2008, Talking About Games community member TyGuy22 talks about Fallout 3. After an hour long demo given by the developers at Bethesda, TyGuy tells us what he likes about the game, what some of the more awesome weapons were, and how diverse some of the options were in the game.
In our continuing series of video coverage from PAX 2008, we sit down with Finster George from the Post Game Report, as he talks about his hands-on experience with Dead Space, Mirror's Edge, and Warhammer Online.
Although she's not a member of Talking About Games (at least, not yet... she's joining us the next time she can get to a computer), we managed to corral this dressed up Harley Quinn into having lunch with us.
More than a simple cosplayer, Harley (real name: Cat) is a gamer at heart. We sit and talk about what she plays, what she thinks of PAX, and why she got into the Harlequin outfit.
We also with a very happy birthday to Post Game Report co-host Phoenix410.
It's Larry Marcum's first year at PAX, and the experience here can be overwhelming at times. As we stand in line waiting for the PAX doors to open, Larry tells us what games he's looking forward to the most, and how excited he is to be a part of this year's festivities.
We also give you a first look at the inside of the PAX exhibition hall, where gaming companies from across the globe have gathered to show off their upcoming titles.
While waiting in the many lines which string through the corridors and hallways of the PAX convention center, we took a few moments to interview some of the community members and staffers from Talking About Games.
First up is Finster/George from the Post Game Report. As we wait for the doors to open to see the exhibition hall, we talk about George's expectations for PAX and his advice for people wondering whether or not they should come to PAX.
