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…

Screw it. It’s been a long week, and after a few beers on a Friday evening all I can think about is which characters I wouldn’t say no to existing in the real world. But let’s intellectualise things just a little. While I believe that the “hottest characters” lists are…

We’ve got a little something to share with you this week. A tease, if you will. No, we’re not saying anything more than what you’ll see below right now. But feel free to ponder away in the comments. We do so love rumours and ponderings. 😉 Hm… intriguing, no? –…

Although the PlayStation 3 is most certainly on its last legs, there are a couple of remaining games on the horizon that are well worth getting excited about. One of those is Eiyuu Senki, a strategy JRPG in which the world’s greatest military leaders (from King Arthur to Nobunaga Oda)…

There is every chance that the Citizen Kane of games has already been produced, but no one really knows it yet. As the games industry continues to push towards the artistry that we know it is capable of, and move beyond offering simple entertainment into telling stories of greater depth…

Review: BlazBlue Chrono Phantasma EXTEND (Sony PlayStation 4)

I am terrible at fighting games. I watch what happens at events like EVO and shake my head in shame, knowing that I will never even come close to that kind of level of skill. Too many button combinations, too much speed. I’m a JRPG player, damn it, I like…

As though there wasn’t enough to convince me that Persona 4: Dancing All Night is the best thing ever, now Hatsune Miku is throwing in a cameo. Mid-August in Japan there will be a DLC released for the game titled “Heaven feat. Hatsune Miku (ATOLS Remix)”, which is one of…

Review: Zombie Army Trilogy (Microsoft Xbox One)

Microsoft Xbox One/Rebellion/Reviews/Shooter/shooters/U&I Entertainment/Xbox One review/Zombie Army Trilogy

Zombie Army Trilogy plays like a second rate movie starring plenty of action and sometimes chuckle-inducing horrors. The idea plays out like an old 80’s action flick but set during World War II. Hitler, in a last ditch effort to stave off his enemies, has unleashed zombie plague on his…
