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…

Fate/Extella/Fate/Extella Link/News/PlayStation 4/PlayStation Vita/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. As far as clones of Koei Tecmo’s Warriors (Musou) franchise goes, Fate/Extella on the PlayStation 4 and Switch is one of the better examples.

Video by Matt S. Hex: Card Clash has landed on PlayStation 4 in Europe/ Australia, and it’s a collectible card game that doesn’t even hide the fact that it’s a clone of Magic: The Gathering. Not that I’m complaining, since I’ve been playing Magic: The Gathering for decades now. And…

Article by Matt S. As you probably saw in my review, published yesterday, I’m a big fan of Dissidia Final Fantasy NT. It has proven to be one of the few times that I’ve enjoyed a game with a competitive online focus, and I expect that I’ll be playing it…

Atlus/Dragon's Crown/News/PlayStation 4/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Dragon’s Crown was a glorious throwback to the brawlers of yesteryear, with the most stunning art design you could hope for. It was a real highlight on the PlayStation 3, and the PS4 “remaster” is looking even better. Knowing that a major part of this game’s…

Baseball Riot/casual/casual games/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Tyler T. As an American, I’m pretty much obligated to love a few things: guns, systemic oppression, apple pie, and baseball. Sadly, my patriotism has limits as I’m not much of a pie person, but I do love me some baseball. I’ve been to dozens of games in…

Australia/Financial results/Malcolm Turnbull/Mitch Fifield/News/Opinion/politics/Tony Abbott

Opinion by Matt S. Rack off, Senator Fifield. For those of you who aren’t plagued by the incompetent, useless government currently indulging its power fantasies in Australia, we have a hyper-conservative party in power that, in the same week announced plans to become a global leader in arms manufacture and…
