PAX AUS 2017

Video Games

This week on the show, PAX AUS is truly under way! But even though PAX is happening all around them, Luke, Elliot and Cam took time to head into the studio and bring you this fantastic episode! We talk about some of the highlights we’ve seen from PAX so far, things to check out and some high recommendations of games coming out soon!

Luke also had a chat with Vince La Duca, global product manager for Linksys about their partnership with PAX AUS and the importance of having a router and network connection that is specifically designed for gamers.

We also have three big reviews for you this week! Kieren prepares us for some offensive content with South Park: The Fractured But Whole, Rachel takes to the track once again with her take on Gran Turismo Sport while Cam does the hack ‘n’ slash thing with his review of Fire Emblem Warriors.

For all the latest updates as always, along with all the detailed features from PAX AUS 2017, head to our official website at checkpointgaming.net.
