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…

Gadget Review: Roccat Kone Aimo gaming mouse

Gadget/Gadget Review/gaming mouse/Hardware/Hardware Review/Roccat/Roccat Kone Aimo

Review by Rob P. It’s been a while since we last reviewed a product from Roccat and, if the Kone Aimo is anything to go by, a lot has changed in that that time. The German manufacturer has always been known for quality and creativity, but there’s a sense of…

Review: Shelter Generations (Nintendo Switch)

Art Game/Circle Entertainment/Indie/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Shelter/Shelter Generations/Survival/survival game/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. I’m not a parent, and a lot of the time stories that deal with that particular dynamic, between parents and their kids, pass me by. I just haven’t felt the emotional connection there, and because those stories generally rely heavily on exploring that exact emotional connection,…

Serious Sam 4 revealed! Oh YES!

April 19, 2018

Devolver Digital/News/Serious Sam/Serious Sam 4/teaser/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Serious Sam is my kind of shooter. Silly, self aware, and pure wall-to-wall action. It reminds me of the early era of shooters (which happens to be the kind of shooters I prefer), and now Devolver Digital and developer, Croteam, has officially announced Serious Sam 4.The…

Article by Matt S. Over on Twitter there’s been a bit of a viral “game” doing the rounds. It started with a tweet from a film aficionado streaming service, FilmStruck, asking people to list four films that “defined” them: We want to celebrate the personal nature of cinema and fill…

Review: Avernum 3: Ruined World (Apple iPad)

Apple iPad/Avernum/Avernum 3: Ruined World/Indie/iPad/iPad Review/Jeff Vogel/Reviews/RPG

Review by Matt S. Spiderweb Software isn’t a household name, but for years (and years) now the tiny outfit has managed to achieve something that most other indies will die dreaming of: establish a workable and sustainable business model. Spiderweb games are brilliantly niche, don’t overstretch themselves, and don’t get…

Underworld Ascendant is shaping up to be a gloriously classical dungeon crawl

News by Matt S. I’ve got my eyes very closely watching Underworld Ascendant, and that’s mostly because of the talent behind it. Warren Spector (Deus Ex), Paul Neurath (Thief), Joe Fielder (BioShock Infinate), and Tim Stellmach (System Shock) make this a development team that has real pedigree and talent behind…

News by Matt S. Neko Atsume was a minor revelation over in its homeland in Japan. A game that didn’t involve anything more than sticking down cat food and toys and then taking photos of cats showing up and doing funny things, it was somehow simultaneously the most dumb, and…

News/Nintendo Switch/Retro/Sega/SEGA AGES/Virtual Console

News by Matt S. A fair number of people are quite miffed that Nintendo hasn’t launched Virtual Console on the Nintendo Switch as yet. It was, after all, a major part of the Wii U, 3DS, and Nintendo Wii, and while commentary around those retro games suggest they’re not massive…
