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. With that in…

The Friday Ten: Censor THIS; the great swimsuits of gaming

October 23, 2015

bikini/list/The Friday 10/Top 10

This week brought us the news that bikinis would be removed from the very adult Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. It’s still a very adult game, mind you, on account of the violence and fact that it’s a terrifying-looking game from one of the most horrifying franchises out there.…

On Samurai Warriors Empires 4 and building its cutest character

October 23, 2015

It’s easy to dismiss the Warriors franchise for its frequent releases. After all, by the time that Samurai Warriors 4: Empires launches in the west (early next year), it will have been three Samurai Warriors games over the course of two years. “Surely”, many say “these games release so frequently,…

Creative Assembly/News/PC/Sega/Total War: Warhammer

That’s right, the Warhammer game we can’t stop rambling about isn’t just a standalone game, it’s the first off three upcoming Total War games! And that’s not all the news for Total War: Warhammer today, so prepare to sink a few minutes of time indulging in all the news and…

It’s a downright Gustathon in advance of next week’s Paris Games Show! Related reading: Gust’s Yoru no Nai Kuni is, unsurprisingly, gorgeous. Yoru no Nai Kuni (“Land of No Night”) will become Nights of Azure when it is released in Europe on April 4, 2016. Take note though, it is…

For just over a year now we’ve been sharing info on Zodiac: Organon Odyssey, the “humble little 2D RPG” that we declared the winner of TGS 2014. The time has finally come where the game’s launch is in sight: it’s slated for release sometime next month on PS Vita and…

Saint Seiya: Soldiers’ Soul offers a solid story for those who are either tremendous fans of the anime, or even those who have no experience with its tales and are relatively curious about what the fuss is. There is a lot of story here, which is great. Unfortunately the combat…

Review: One Upon Light (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 22, 2015

Indie/Once Upon Light/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Singapore

As Homer Simpson once said; “the light, it burns!” and in Once Upon Light, the light burns so intensely you die. It’s not a game that will lead you to enlightenment (see what I did there?), but you’ll have a good time nonetheless. The game is displayed entirely in black…

Where would we be without Idea Factory? Probably in a similar place in life, to be fair, but we would have far fewer games to enjoy on our PlayStation Vitas. The publisher has just announced a new JRPG, in Trillion: God of Destruction, as a PlayStation Vita exclusive. Due for…

By now, I’m sure you’ve read Matt’s book. I know I keep mentioning it, but it is so very relevant to a lot of upcoming trends. Take this news story, for example. (Don’t worry if you haven’t read it yet, we also have an interview relevant to this story here.)…
