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…

News by Lindsay M. I know, I know: I’m falling for the news-about-news trend that I have been known to hate. But when the news about upcoming news is regarding Persona 5 all hate goes out the window. Persona 5’s Japanese website has launched a series of countdown timers that…

Opinion by Matt S. Overwatch has proven to be a rare beast indeed; an online-only, competitive multiplayer shooter that I can’t get out of my head… or, indeed, stop playing. The only other shooter that I’ve even continued playing after publishing a review of in quite some time was Splatoon,…

Review: Monster Hunter Generations (Nintendo 3DS)

Review by Nick H. The Monster Hunter series has some pretty rabid fans out there, my son and I among them. The core formula does not change much from one release to another, but then it doesn’t necessarily matter with this franchise. But I have to say that Monster Hunter…

News by Matt S. Blizzard has unveiled its latest character that will be added to the Overwatch cast. Her name is Ana, and she sounds awesome. Ana is a sniper, and a support character. Her main weapon is a gun that heals allies, and also deals ongoing (i.e. poison) damage…

Reviews by Matt S. Welcome to this week’s short ‘n sweet reviews, where I look at a number of games that I’ve been playing that I just haven’t got the time to do give full reviews to. These aren’t necessarily bad games – not at all! But rather they are…

FromSoftware, before Dark Souls, made forgotten gems like Lost Kingdoms and its sequel

July 12, 2016

DDNet Premium/From Software/Gamecube/JRPG/Lost Kingdoms/Retro/Retro Reflections

Retro reflections by Matt S. FromSoftware did not spring into existence with Dark Souls. No, Demon’s Souls wasn’t even its first game. Not many people were, perhaps, as familiar with FromSoftware prior to hitting the big time with those gothic nightmares, but in actuality, the developer was already a favourite…

Review: LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Microsoft Xbox One)

action game/Lego/LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens/Microsoft Xbox One/Reviews/TT Games/Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. The various LEGO games have been consistently good, if not great, but the last few releases have left me wondering if the formula is perhaps getting too long in the tooth to surprise and delight any longer. I am happy to say that after lots of…

Review by Matt S. If you’re a fan of board games, and don’t own an iPad, you’re not really a fan of board games. The device is absolutely dominant on the genre, and the shape and size of it make it a natural fit for the kind of interfaces that…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Almost a century ago humanity was brought to near extinction by an invasion of dragons. The powerful Unit 13 managed to defeat them, and peace was restored and humanity was allowed to rebuild itself over time. Peace, however, is never meant to last and one of…
