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…

DLC Review: Sonic Adventure DX Upgrade (PSN)

DLC/Reviews/Sonic Adventure/Sonic Adventure DX

While the digital release of Sonic Adventure won’t exactly win over the masses today, it’s still a reasonably solid title with plenty of content for interested parties. In fact, there’s so much to do that the premise of downloadable content seems a tad unnecessary. Nevertheless, there’s some logic to it…

E3 2012: Nintendo to have pre-E3 video-stream all about the Wii U

E3/E3 2012/Nintendo/Wii U

When the Wii U was shown last year at E3 2011, confusion was the most common feeling among viewers and attendees. Was the Wii U a new system? Was it just a tablet add-on for the current Wii? And why did Nintendo’s next hardware product have a ridiculous name? While…

Started on May 4th of 2010, the Humble Indie Bundle promotions have been great for everybody. Not only have many video game players been able to experience many great games with no form of DRM for whatever price the players want, but a majority of the money that the promotions…

Review: Fortune Street Smart (iPhone)

Is there a better suited game for the iPhone than Fortune Street, Square Enix’s most under appreciated franchise? I would argue no. Fortune Street Smart is a brilliant fit for the iPhone, and one of very best mobile games you’ll ever play. The series, which has been Japan-only in many…

Remember when Dark Souls got announced for personal computers after an almost 100K-signature petition? Everybody was happy. But then the box art was revealed, with the white, ever-so-hated “Games for Windows Live” logo right at the top of the packaging. This caused yet another outrage with another petition, as GFWL…

So I got my copy of Atelier Meruru today. I love the game, it’s pure, unadulterated fun, and you’ll be able to see my review on Otaku Gaming shortly. The point of this piece is not to discuss the game, though. It’s to point out how absolutely inconsistent the Australian…
