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…

Review: Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (Vita)

July 9, 2012

action/Metal Gear Solid/Metal Gear Solid HD/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Stealth

Ahh Metal Gear. A masterpiece of gaming now re-appears on the gaming scene through the remastering of two of the best games in the series. Even though the latest in the collection is now eight years old, all the games still hold up brilliantly, and would arguably be better than…

Good news Nintendo fans! 3DS and Wii U accounts will be unified

July 9, 2012

Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo Network/Nintendo Wii U

This is something we’ve been asking for for a while now, but good to see Nintendo being progressive: your Wii U and 3DS will work off a unified account. A report over at Games Industry confirms that players will likely be able to transfer data – including games – back…

Review: Rainbow Moon (PS3)

July 9, 2012

PlayStation/PS3/PSN/Rainbow Moon/Reviews/RPG/Strategy RPG

I could summarise a review of Rainbow Moon in five words: “do you like level grinding?” That would be a very short review, though, so here’s the long-winded version: So, do you like level grinding? Rainbow Moon is all about it – it’s entirely about it, and in many ways…

Review: Magic the Gathering: Duels of the Planeswalkers 2013 (PC)

July 9, 2012

card game/MAgic 2013/Magic the Gathering/PC/Reviews/Steam

I am a huge fan of Magic: The Gathering. I first started playing back in early college around 1994 – so I’ve seen a lot of the game’s earliest cards. Eventually my friends and I graduated from college and moved on and lacked the ability to play the game anymore.…

Review: A Game of Thrones (PC)

July 8, 2012

A Game of Thrones/action RPG/PC/Reviews/RPG/Steam

Game of Thrones is a title I was really looking forward to because I am a fan of the books and television show, but then the initial reviews came out and most of them were middling – some downright hard on the game. I think what you will get out…

The weekend discussion: “Do you buy DLC? And if so, what?”

July 6, 2012

DLC/weekly chat

This weekend’s discussion comes courtesy of a comment left by our good friend Chalgyr yesterday. There’s obviously a lot of DLC out there, some good, some bad. Some bad DLC you end up buying anyway because it’s for a good game. I’m sure there’s a case out there somewhere where…

Killing Floor/PC/Steam/Tripwire Interactive

While considered average by the majority of the gaming press at its launch, Killing Floor still has a very active community. It’s incredibly easy to find full servers and it’s one of the few games that does one game mode very well. Tripwire Interactive, the development studio that picked up…

July 6, 2012

DLC/Opinion/Theatrhythm

I’m a big fan of Theatrhythm. It’s a game project with a lot of soul, and reviews across the board – mine and the response on Metacritic has, so far, been very positive indeed: 80 aggregate score from critics, and 97 from users (at time of print). As a games journalist,…
