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…

At DDNet, we do love a good Wizardry-style dungeon crawler. There is something classic and timeless about delving deep into a hive of monsters and traps, overcoming them bit by bit while developing an intricate map of the sprawl of corridors and rooms along the way. Wizardry paved the way…

It isn’t often that I end up gifting five copies of a game to friends while I’m still knee deep into it myself. Such is the case with The Witness. I was blown away by Braid on Xbox 360 years ago, and have been on a media blackout in anticipation…

The Vita has played home to some dungeon crawlers that… well, they rather like turning on the fan service. Demon Gaze was the first, and it was a very fine game indeed, with some breathtaking art. Dungeon Travelers 2 came next and it was pure pinup gold.Grab this game from…

Nintendo needed a release in January. It’s the only way to explain Pokemon Rumble World existence as a retail release almost a year after it was dropped on the eShop as a free-to-play download title. Related reading: Of course, if you haven’t picked up Pokemon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire…

Emphasis on “app,” as Miitomo is certainly not a mobile game per say. Instead, Miitomo is Nintendo’s take on a social networking app. Related reading: Way back in 2012, Matt wrote about what Nintendo’s opportunities in the mobile market, but does Miitomo jive with his vision from four years ago?…

Mini-Games Madness Volume: #1 – Hello World! is one of those mini-game compilations. It turns on and it’s playable, but every other aspect is so banal and subdued you won’t want to touch it. Three of its four games can be summed up with following sentence: Copter is Flappy Bird,…
