We feel that this game would make a great addition to the TAW community. If you would like to see Dead by Daylight in TAW, please fill out the Vanguard interest form.
Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught and killed.
The Entity, a supernatural being hailing from the ancient blood web, is awakened from its slumber whenever it is summoned by actions of great violence and malice. The killers, exclusively serial murderers, are pulled out of reality by it and convinced to do its bidding. In order to maintain its existence, the Entity requires sacrifices, and demands that they hunt and kill the survivors so it can feed off their hope and steal a piece of their soul upon death. Then they are brought back to life to repeat the trial, endlessly attempting to escape.
The survivors are pulled into the Entity's constructed world when they wander too close to the places the killers were taken from, disappearing from the real world without a trace. They end up at a lonely campfire, where they rest between trials, until a killer pursues them again. Escaping from the grounds always takes the survivors back to the campfire, and offerings can be created to be burnt at it and appeal for the Entity's favor. Since the Entity feeds off the hope of the survivors to escape, it helps them just as much as the killers, acting as an impartial observer of the hunt, stepping in only to claim those hanged on its hooks.
If you have any questions, concerns, or inquiries please contact any member of VG staff. If you have interest in this game or any others not in TAW please fill our future games form.

Release Date: June 21st, 20107
Genre: MOBA
Master X Master is currently in Vanguard under the “Game Testing Channel.” Feel free to come in and have some fun with fellow Master X Master players.
Check this game out, and after it releases if it something you would like to see in TAW fill out the INTEREST FORM.
Master x Master is a free to play action MOBA developed and published by NCSoft set in the NCSoft universe. The game features characters from WildStar, Blade and Soul, Lineage, and every other NCSoft title. Unlike League of Legends and DotA 2, Master x Master allows players to play 2 heroes, called "masters" at once with the ability to tag between them at will. The combat is fast paced with WSAD controls and has a high skill cap. In the video above, I showed off the 3v3 mode as well as the 5v5 game mode. Gameplay is broken down between PvP and PvE. The game has a pretty robust PvE system where players can run through various instanced stages alone or with a party (similar to stages in games like HeroWarz, Vindictus, etc).
Keyboard Controls – not just another point-and-click MOBA. Players must use the WASD to move and manually aim all skill shots and auto attacks.
PvE Missions – explore over 25 maps and dungeons with five difficulty settings to unlock new characters, runes, materials and earn achievements.
Tag Team Action – chose two characters for each match and swap between them at the click of a button!
Multiple Competitive Game Modes – choose from Combat Training (Team Death Match), Point Control (Base Control), and Ruins of the Titan (Classic 3-lane MOBA)
Mini Games – improve your twitch mechanics by playing quick mini-games including Laser Dodging, Bullet Mode, and Racing.
All-Star Cast – play as characters from popular NCSoft MMORPGs including Aion, Blade & Soul, WildStar, Lineage, and Lineage 2.

Genre: Fighting, Action. Multiplayer, Arcade, E-Sports
Tekken 7 focuses on 1-on-1 battles. Two new mechanisms are introduced in the game. The first, Rage Art, allows the player to execute critical attacks that deal roughly 30% damage depending on the character once their health bar is critical, in exchange for inactivating the normal attack power increase. The second, Power Crush, lets the player continue their attacks even while being hit by the enemy, although they would still receive the damage dealt by the enemy's attacks. The mechanic also works only for absorbing high or mid attacks. The bound system, which staggers a character to increase opportunity for additional hits, is replaced by Screw Attack, which makes the enemy spin sideways when they are hit airborne, allowing the player to inflict additional hits after they reach the ground. Unlike bound, however, Screw Attack cannot be used to do wall combos. With a new display system, the game's multiplayer allows players to choose which side of the screen to play on. Movement has undergone some changes and now is similar to the movement mechanics found in Tekken Revolution, most notably when characters walk backwards.
The arcade version features the traditional stage-based playthrough, in which the player progresses by beating five different opponents one by one, ending with a fixed penultimate and final stage. Matches may be interrupted if another player joins the game. Online mode is available for both local and international play. Character customization is featured, allowing the player to modify characters' appearances. For the first time in the arcade series, the game features a practice mode, which allows players to train moves against an opponent for a limited amount of time, as well as an option to collect in-game rewards, mainly customization items, through "Treasure Box" by winning enough matches.
Fated Retribution features several gameplay changes to the game. The new "Rage Drive" allows the player to empower certain attacks by sacrificing their Rage Mode. Rage Art is also adjusted so that the amount of damage dealt to the enemy is inversely proportional to the player's current health bar. The update also adds a character-specific feature, the EX/Super meter, which serves as a limiter for some special attacks. This meter is reserved for two characters: Eliza and the Street Fighter guest character Akuma.
Vanguard is pleased to announce the spin up meeting for Steel Division Normady 44. A link to the event can be found here.
