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…

Review by Matt C. If you want your game to stand out, adding cats is a good way to go about it. Sure, cat games are fast approaching a level of saturation to rival zombies, but we’re not there yet – and a screenshot with a cute cat in it…

2D platformer/Inti Creates/Mighty Gunvolt Burst/Nintendo Switch/platformer/Retro/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. Mighty Gunvolt Burst comes at an exciting time for the Nintendo Switch – it’s the first hardcore platformer available for the console, and it arrives before Nintendo’s own Virtual Console does so it won’t need to compete with the retro games it aims to emulate. Inti…

Arcade/AstroDuel/Indie/local multiplayer/Multiplayer/Nintendo Switch/Retro/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Harvard L. One of the first games ever released was called Spacewar. In that game, two players controlled ships which rotated and moved in an unwieldy way, trying to shoot the other ship before their own was destroyed. AstroDuel Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch is what Spacewar would…

Review by Ginny W. Contrary to the associations that the name may bring to mind, Mages of Mystralia wasn’t gestated by a studio nestled somewhere in Sydney. The minds behind Mystralia are actually based in Montreal, and the studio itself – Borealys Games – is a small but enthusiastic indie…

It’s time for the final podcast on this year’s E3 show. This week we talk about what we liked (and didn’t), and talk in-depth about Nintendo, which we were particularly impressed with this year. Also this week we talk about Final Fantasy XIV, which has a new expansion just out,…

Review by Brad L. I’ve always played racing games the wrong way. Always wanting to push the boundaries of what I was allowed to do, I found myself pushing cars all around the track in TOCA Touring Cars, handbraking into other cars in Gran Turismo to fly around corners at…

Reviews by Matt S. With all the excitement surrounding the Nintendo Switch, it’s easy to forget that the 3DS is still having games regularly released on to it – and I’m not just talking about Nintendo’s own games, like Fire Emblem Echoes, either. Each week we’re getting new 3DS games…
