It's the Easter holiday weekend for a lot of folks, for others it's just another excuse to hopefully have an extra day off of work. The staff seems to have a lot of variety in their plans, most of which includes games - specifically Hearthstone which is out now on iPad. How many opponents do you think are playing on the toilet?

Though it's been available on the PSN since December, Minecraft: PlayStation 3 Edition is getting a proper boxed release the 14th of May in both North America and Europe. Already 1.5 million copies have been sold digitally, though there is always room for a boxed copy somewhere. Perhaps you've got a phobia of the internet, or maybe you just don't trust the tenuous nature of digital rights. I'm not here to judge.
Players that have kept up with all of Defiance's updates or are just getting into the game now, be aware that the last DLC for this season, "Arktech Revolution", has finally arrived this week.

Just a reminder, this game came out in September of 2012.
The second co-op shooter I had an interview with at PAX East 2014 was Sniper Elite 3. Co-Optimus’ own Nick Puleo is a big fan of the franchise, but I myself hadn’t had the chance to check out any of the games until now. So what did I think? Let’s take a look.

Out this week on PlayStation Vita, Dead Nation brings top-down zombie shooting co-op straight to your pocket. Originally released on PS3, Dead Nation became a fan favorite in the zombie survival and co-op genres. This is one game that's great alone, but even better with a friend.

Triumph Studios cares what you have to say. Especially in regards to Age of Wonders III, which might be why version 1.09 is based on fan feedback, and is also out by the time you read this.
