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…

Review: Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson (Nintendo 3DS)

September 21, 2015

Beat 'em Up/brawler/Fighting game/Nintendo 3DS Review/Reviews/Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson/Tamsoft/XSEED Games

Look, obviously Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson is targeted at a particular kind of audience with its voluptuously top-heavy ninjas, and that is just fine. The developers know their audience. The better question is how well does the game play and does it actually present the material in an effective,…

Ever played a genuinely great free-to-play mobile game? If your answer is no, you’re not alone. If you’re answer is yes, you’ve probably played Chain Chronicle. For those who haven’t, Chain Chronicle is a line defence game featuring hundreds of characters with their own individual story arcs. Matt shocked us…

DDNet does Japan! Day #22: Tokyo Game Show 2015: Five quick thoughts

September 18, 2015

Japan/Opinion/TGS 2015/Tokyo Game Show/Tour Japan/tourism

Asia’s largest gaming event, Tokyo Game Show, was bigger and better this year than ever before, boasting a record number of exhibitors from all over the world, and of all sizes, from indies of one developer through to the mega publishers Square Enix, Sony, SEGA and Koei Tecmo. I have…

Review: Act of Aggression (PC)

September 18, 2015

Act of Aggression/Eugen Systems/Focus Home Interactive/PC Review/Reviews/RTS/Strategy

Act of Aggression is one of those titles that will no doubt appeal to dedicated fans of real-time strategy (RTS). It is incredibly polished and does most things quite well. However, its lack of fresh ideas gives it an overwhelming impression of too-comfortable familiarity. The end result is a solid…

Atlus giveth and Atlus taketh away. Contrary to common practice, let us start with the good bit: here is, finally, a new trailer for gamer heartthrob Persona 5: *wheeze* *wheeze* *wheeze* Let’s take a minute to catch our breath… … Okay, so we got that out of our system? Good.…

I don’t know about you guys but I think Tokyo Game Show 2015 is turning out to be way more interesting than E3, with one surprise after the other. Now, a few years after the delightfully campy Ace Attorney movie adaptation by prolific director Takashi Miike — that you should…

Review: I Am Bread (Apple iPad)

September 17, 2015

3D platformer/Apple iPad/Bossa Studios/Franz Kafka/I Am Bread/Indie/iPad Review/Metamorphosis/Puzzle Game/Reviews

I Am Bread is a game I should have loved. As a none-too-subtle homage to Franz Kafka, and, specifically, his seminal work The Metamorphosis, this should have meant a game that I would devour and then ponder over as not just something delightfully weird, but something with a great deal…

DDNet does Japan! Day #21: A trip to Asakusa to cleanse the soul and eat melon pan

September 17, 2015

Asakusa/Hanayashiki/Japan/Kagetsudo/Melon Pan/Sensō-ji/Tour Japan/tourism

Asakusa is an area that sees its fair share of gaijin tourists. They come because it is renowned for two things; firstly, it has a mammoth temple that dominates the area, and secondly, it’s world renowned for being a small case study of “traditional Japan” that exists close to the…

Review: Zombi (Sony PlayStation 4)

September 17, 2015

Horror/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Survival Horror/Ubisoft/Zombi/ZombiU

Zombi was ZombiU; a Wii U launch exclusive that really worked hard to show off the console’s capabilities, but only to a middling reception. With ambitions to be a true survival horror game set in London, England, you will play as a survivor of a zombie apocalypse who (with the…
