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…

The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 has a western release date, whoo!

News/Nippon Ichi Software/NISA/release date/Release Dates/The Witch and the Hundred Knight/The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Nippon Ichi held a press event overnight, the bulk of which was regarding games that the studio has in development for the Japanese market. But there was one really neat bit of news; we’ve got a firm release date for The Witch and the Hundred Knight…

Nintendo Labo is quite possibly the company’s best, most ethical idea yet

January 18, 2018

Nintendo/Nintendo Labo/Nintendo Switch/Opinion

News by Matt S. The Nintendo Labo lets you stick your Switch into little boxes of cardboard that you make yourself, and then play games or interactive toys with the result. You could make yourself a little keyboard and play some music. Or a robot that you can then drive…

Video: Learning history through Samurai Warriors

January 18, 2018

history/Japanese History/Koei Tecmo/Samurai Warriors/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. One of the things that I love about the Samurai Warriors games is the way that they depict history. Often they’re dismissed as not being “realistic” to history, and that’s certainly the case, but as I’ve argued in the past, they are authentic to history. Related…

Nintendo Labo is the most Nintendo thing Nintendo’s ever done, and we love it

January 17, 2018

News/Nintendo/Nintendo Labo/Nintendo Switch

By Matt C. When Nintendo started teasing an announcement for “a new way to play” last night, it lead to a lot of speculation—could it be a TV-only version of the Switch, or a handheld-only version, or some sort of new amiibo thing? I don’t think anyone quite expected what…

Retro reflections: Why Project Zero 2 is still the greatest horror game ever made

January 17, 2018

Horror/Koei Tecmo/Project Zero/Project Zero 2/Retro/Retro Reflections

Retro reflections by Matt S. Everyone has their favourite horror game (well, most people do. I know some don’t like horror at all, but even genre non-fans tend to find one or two that really capture the imagination). I’ve written in the past about Clock Tower 3, which is right…

Beholder/Beholder Complete Edition/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/simulation

Review by Matt S. Beholder left me cold. Given that the intent of the game is to depict a dystopian nightmare pulled right from every image we’ve ever had of socialist eastern Europe, “leaving me cold” was probably the intention, but there are games that have done this theme better,…

Review: SpellForce 3 (PC)

January 16, 2018

PC/PC Review/Reviews/RPG/RTS/SpellForce/SpellForce 3

Review by Pierre-Yves L. The SpellForce series has always been an interesting one. On one hand you have an RPG adventure with quests and exploration, while on the other you have and RTS. Using elements of both, this series has provided unique challenges as your party can level up and…

Two Point Hospital just looks like the most delightful fun

News by Matt S. When it rains, it pours. We haven’t had a light hearted Theme Hospital-like simulation in many years, and now we have two announced within a few months of one another. Late last year Project Hospital caught our attention, and now SEGA and Two Point Studios have…

Review: Of Mice And Sand: Revised (Nintendo Switch)

January 16, 2018

Arc System Works/Nintendo Switch/Of Mice and Sand/Of Mice And Sand: Revisited/Reviews/simulation/Strategy/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. Of Mice And Sand is simple. It’s charming, bright, and cheerful, but it’s simple. It’s a mix of Fallout Shelter, This War of Mine or Sheltered, and the great western genre of cinema. With cute pixel mice. It’s not a mix that I would have thought…
