Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

AirPlay/Apple/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Opinion

I’ve been playing around with Apple’s AirPlay feature via iPad and Apple TV, and it really does surprise me that more isn’t made of this feature. Put the two of them together and you get a console-quality experience, which you’re then able to pick up and seamlessly take on the…

Review: Toki Tori (3DS Virtual Console)

August 8, 2012

Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Puzzle Game/Retro Reviews/Toki Tori/Virtual Console

The Game Boy, and later Game Boy Color, had a fine heritage in puzzle gaming. From the obvious (Tetris), to the most niche games possible (Catrap), there really was a puzzle game to suit any player on Nintendo’s classic handhelds. Toki Tori is the most recent classic puzzler to hit…

PS3/ssx/Xbox 360

With a collective 200 million play sessions logged, EA’s revamp of SSX has been pretty successful. Now the publisher has released a title update that’ll infuse the downhill racer with some fresh powder. Start up SSX today and you’ll be able to update and add the Freeride and 3-2-1-Go! modes…

Review: Ace Mathician (DSiWare)

August 7, 2012

Ace Mathician/DSiWare/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo DSi/platformer/Puzzle Game/Reviews

The concept that Ace Mathician is built upon is far more complex and creative than the game itself. Considering how clever that concept is and how fun the game is anyway, that’s just fine. The basic premise of the $2 DSiWare download is this: there’s a koala named Ace, and…

More MGS news today as Konami has confirmed the digital release schedule for individual Metal Gear Solid titles on Xbox Live, PS3, and the Vita. Although I’m not really sure if there are any fans left who have somehow managed to avoid playing these games, it is pretty good news…

Solid Snake fans have some trophy hunting to do as the PS3 hit Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots gets support for Sony’s award system three and a half years after the fact. Of course, there was no ‘mandatory’ updating for games that were available before the PS3…

The upcoming Nintendo 3DS title Bravely Default: Flying Fairy will apparently have downloadable content. According to Square Enix, the first three DLC packs can be had for free as well. There is however, a small catch. One set (a Freelancer costume) can be had if you purchased the soundtrack CD,…

Shadowrun Online goes into the home stretch

August 7, 2012

Cliffhanger Productions/Shadowrun Online

Cliffhanger Productions’ Shadowrun Online is in the last week of its Kickstarter campaign. To get you on board with the project, they’ve released a pair of new trailers showing some of the finer points of legwork and ‘contextual gameplay’. I never got into the multiplayer FPS remake that was released…

The Oddworld series may not have gotten any new installments in a while, but two classic entries are about to go HD on the PSV. Both Stranger’s Wrath and Munch’s Oddysee will be getting all spiffed up with a shiny coat of ‘HD’ paint for Sony’s portable sometime soon. Just…

Review: Blacklight Retribution (PC)

August 7, 2012

Blacklight: Retribution/PC/Steam/Zombie Studios

Blacklight: Retribution is a militaristic first-person shooter. When it comes to this game genre, there are two types of video game players; those that have barely played any militaristic first-person shooters and those that have played so many that they are most likely becoming bored with these titles. I fall…
