What if the classic film and short story The Running Man was a cartoony Roguelike shooter? It would look a lot like DeathRun TV, an upcoming game from British indie developer Laser Dog and publisher Merge Games.

Minecraft has managed to give players limitless potential since its release back in 2009, but some how the game continues to add the content the game always needs, even now, eleven years later.

With that update, everybody can play Minecraft on all platforms where it's available and have their progress carry over.
Minecraft may be experiencing a resurgence of sorts in pop culture, but that doesn't mean the developers ever stopped plugging along on updates for the game. All sorts of new features, items, and biomes have been added over the years, and now, at long last, a character creator is on the way.
It's no secret Smash TV is one of my all time favorite games. I've got a design doc in my back pocket I'll some day pull the trigger on for my take on a modern day remake. Until that time developer aQuadiun are releasing their take on the classic twin stick shooter with Galaxy Champions TV, coming to Steam on September 6th.
No Microsoft E3 conference would be complete without mention of the world-building juggernaut that is Minecraft. Last year they showed what could be possible with the HoloLens (whenever that materializes) and this year they're focusing more on the gaming together side of things. The new "Friendly Update" will allow PC (Windows 10 edition), mobile device, and VR players to all join and play in the same Realm.
