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…

The Friday Ten: Why Sony might want to consider a successor to the Vita

October 2, 2015

Friday 10s/PlayStation Vita/Sony/The Friday 10

I don’t think there are too many pundits out there that honestly expect Sony to release another handheld console. It’s not just that the PlayStation Vita has been a dramatic underperformer in every market that isn’t Japan since it was released, either. Related reading: A list of our PlayStation Vita…

Ladies and gentlemen, I have seen the future and it is blindingly colourful. Call of Duty Black Ops 3 is set in 2065, forty years after the previous title, and is looking to be a bit more Advanced Warfare than the series’ previous ‘fare. Human augmentations run rampant, robots are…

Penarium is not a terribly complex game, but it does provide an addicting mix of platforming challenges that will test the reflexes and patience of even the most seasoned gamer. By and large the simplicity of Penarium works to its benefit, even if the adventure is not a lengthy one.…

EA Sports/FIFA 16/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Sports

FIFA 16 overflows with authenticity from its visuals, to the presentation and down to the on-field play as well. Year by year, the FIFA series seems to take smaller steps in iterating over the prior season’s game than some of EA’s other sports titles, but the end result is still…

When two indie studios come together, magic can happen. This is what I am hopeful for in the upcoming Syndrome, and first-person survival horror game that plans to take the genre back to its roots. Creepy, right? The player awakes on a deserted spaceship to discover the rest of the…

The FACTS convention prides itself in being the largest comics, sci-fi, and anime festival in Europe. This year, our very lucky Eduardo got to take in the experience.
