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…

Interesting games on itch.io: September 13

Art Game/Indie/itch/itch.io/list/Top 10/top 5

List by Matt S. I’m a big fan of itch.io for the freedom and open platform that it allows for developers to be creative, experimental, and directly canvas the audience for feedback for games that are not yet ready for primetime on Steam and its ilk. In addition, itch.io allows…

Dice Legacy: Harvard plays one very dicey game

September 13, 2021

Nintendo Switch/strategy game/Video/Video review

Video by Harvard L. We do like a good game with dice, and Dice Legacy certainly did catch our attention for its dice. It’s a very dice-filled game. Harvard gives the game a full spin on Nintendo Switch ahead of his review later in the week. Be sure to keep…

Opinion/Sony

“News” by Matt S. One of the biggest things to come from Sony’s big day of announcements today was, apparently, an advertisement. I wish I was joking, but of course, capitalism and such, so I’m not. There was a press release about it and everything, as though it was something…

News/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Remember when Sony developed games like Gravity Rush and Tokyo Jungle, and published wildly creative thought bubbles like Oreshika and The Unfinished Swan? Taking a quick glance through the PlayStation Showcase (which I thankfully didn’t stay up to watch) shows that those days are long gone.…

Review by Matt S. I’ll level with you: this is going to be a really short review because, as much as I do believe that video games are a creative work and deserve the full respect of my time and effort in a review situation (whether they’re great or otherwise),…

Review by Harvard L. I’m not a huge fan of Doctor Who, but as an outsider, I can tell you the most immediately recognisable aspects of the properties are the Daleks, the phone booth TARDIS, and the Weeping Angels. It’s interesting to me that 14 years on, the episode “Blink”…

Tales of Arise… more like Tales of Guevara – I love this game

September 8, 2021

action RPG/Bandai Namco/JRPG/Tales of Arise/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Tales of Arise is absolutely spectacular, but one of the most interesting things about it is that, for a series that is usually considered “gameplay first, narrative second,” this one has an absolutely incredible and thought-provoking narrative. So, in this video, I discuss one of the…
