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…

Sharing screenshots is fun. In fact, the screenshot feature is in many ways the best feature that has been added in to this generation of consoles. It’s fun to share gameplay experiences, amusing anecdotes from the games, a indulge a little of the inner photographer in us. Yes, after a…

List by Matt S. Funnily enough, I wasn’t really into rhythm games before this generation of consoles. I enjoyed them enough, but I never went out of my way to play them. That changed after I played the first Hatsune Miku: Project Diva F game on the PlayStation Vita. From…

News by Matt S. Goichi Suda is my hero, and I’m not even joking about that. One of the most relentlessly creative and transgressive game developers out there, I’ve loved everything he has touched on some level – even the really controversial stuff like Killer Is Dead. Also, it helps…

Article by Matt S. So yesterday I published my review of Uncharted 4, a game I enjoyed a great deal, though not without reservations. You can read that review here. Thinking more broadly about Uncharted 4 as a blockbuster, and the relationship that blockbusters have with the game media, I’ve…

adventure game/adventure games/Blues and Bullets/film noir/Indie/noir/PlayStation 4/point-and-click adventure/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Blues and Bullets is a game that appeals to almost all of my sensibilities. It’s narrative-focused and striking, and fits neatly within the crime noir genre; something that has fascinated me into many, many years of study.

Battle Worlds Kronos/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Strategy/tactics game

Review by Matt S. Here is something I honestly never expected to see on the PlayStation 4; a turn-based, hardcore strategy game in the vein of classics such as Panzer General or Slitherine’s more modern Panzer Corps. Yet, that is exactly what Battle Worlds Kronos set out to achieve, and…

Review by Matt S. Uncharted 4 has got to be the most irritating game I have ever played. I recognise that on every objective measure you could apply to it, it is a well-made and highly engaging game. But it also represents the pinnacle of AAA game development, and therefore…

Review by Mikhail M. Recently, more and more games that were announced for release on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita have been seeing the handheld versions delayed indefinitely or even cancelled. Luckily DrinkBox Studios bucked that trend, and has delivered one of the most unique handheld experiences ever, combining the…
