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…

I have had a solid history with SteelSeries gear, but arguably my favourite piece of gaming hardware from the company was the SteelSeries Siberia Elite Prism Gaming Headset. This is still my go-to headset for my PC gaming. It is light, comfortable and they produce outstanding sound. I have been…

DDNet does Japan! Day #10: Museum/ gallery hopping

Art/Doraemon/gallery/Japan/museum/Tour Japan/tourism/travel

Japan, and especially Tokyo, has such an incredible range of art galleries, zoos, museums and exhibitions that it’s a pity that the city doesn’t have the same reputation for “culture” as those in parts of Europe. Where people plan entire trips to see the galleries and museums of Paris, Moscow,…

While many of us Ace Attorney fans suffer the whims of the localization gods as we await news on The Adventures of Ryūnosuke Naruhodō, Famitsu – in a turnabout revelation – teased the existence of a sixth mainline entry. Related reading: Nick’s review of the Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy…

See, now I know how game developers feel. The anxious wait for reviews to start appearing after you know that the journalists are ploughing through something that you have spent years on and represents your very heart and soul. Hoping, praying, and begging any god that has ever been around…

Review: Volume (Sony PlayStation 4)

September 1, 2015

Bithell Games/Mike Bithell/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Stealth/Volume

Volume is a title willing to take some chances, and most of those risks pay off handsomely. The visual style is minimalist yet unique, the gameplay mechanics are interesting and the level design is solid. I do wish the story had been a bit more interesting, because at the end…
