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…

Capcom/Horror/Microsoft Xbox One/Resident Evil/Resident Evil Revelations/Reviews/Xbox One review

Review by Brad L. With Resident Evil 7: Biohazard taking the Resident Evil franchise into a bold and controversial new direction, it was a curious decision for Capcom to re-release Resident Evil: Revelations onto current-gen consoles. After all, it’s a port of a port of a 5-year old Nintendo 3DS…

Review by Brad L. Just over a year ago, I had reviewed the first Project CARS game on the PS4 in its Game of the Year iteration. If you recall, I was mostly terrible at car racing sims at that point, and Project CARS was the game that allowed me…

DDNet in Japan #4: How to spend a quick day or two in Osaka

September 15, 2017

DDNet in Japan 2017/Dotonbori/Final Fantasy XIV/Japan/Kyoto/Nara/Osaka/tourism/travel/Universal Studios

Travel by Matt S. Osaka isn’t my favourite place in Japan. That’s not to say it’s a terrible place, of course – it’s a city filled with delights. It’s just that I generally prefer Tokyo as far as Japan’s big cities go, and if I’m going to get out of…

Interview by Matt S. Of the many Aussie-developed games released in recent years, I’ve got to say that Hand Of Fate is up there as the most original, refined, and downright memorable. It was a delightful mix of action combat, choose-your-own-adventure style storytelling, and deck building card game. And then,…

Article by Nick Hu. The centrepiece of DONTNOD’s 2015 masterpiece Life is Strange was not the power of temporal manipulation that bestowed the mastery of fate on peacekeeper, crowd pleaser, and wallflower Max Caulfield, but the relationship between Max and her childhood BFF Chloe Price. The test of its position…
