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…

Video by Matt S. Dead or School finally released in western markets today, and it’s a supremely trashy – but really good fun – platformer/JRPG/fan service vehicle. Related reading: Read our review here! I’ve written a full review at DDNet, so I didn’t feel like running through the game itself…

Review by Matt S. (Note: We have previously reviewed this game on Nintendo Switch as a Japanese import.

Review by Matt S.  There was once a reason to buy into Xbox consoles if you were a fan of games from Asia. Not now, but once. The original model Xbox and Xbox 360 both enjoyed a surprisingly decent range of titles that were exclusive to those platforms. Kingdom Under…
