Game Club Plays: Galak-Z

Hey everyone. Me again, Scrooloose, with my pick for this weeks game club. This time it's 17-Bit's arcade space shooter, Galak-Z. This one is fun and feels like an old arcade title that you might drop a bunch of quarters in to keep playing.

Battle alien space bugs and run missions for command while earning upgrades for your little space ship in ever increasing difficulty levels of play. It's $10 on Steam and if you want to join us in playing that'd be great. I'm sure there are plenty of Let's Play videos out there as well if you don't feel like spending the money. Goodness knows I feel that.

Nier: Automata – Early Impressions

So I picked up Nier: Automata on release day without any prior experience with the Drakengard series or Nier. I had paid it mild attention when I started seeing early footage and then it went largely forgotten, lost behind my growing backlog of games yet to be played. When I started seeing footage of pre-release reviews and very early first impressions I began seeing what was so intriguing again. Then I learned that this game was being made by Platinum Games - I had all but decided this was going to be next on my list. Read more
