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…

It’s tough to compete with League of Legends and DOTA in the MOBA space. Very tough. Those two games absolutely dominate the competitive eSports industry, and both are worth a small fortune. But that hasn’t stopped some other developers trying, and one of the most effective to date has been…

After doing some research up on RONIN and finding out that it’s a “turn-based platformer”, I initially thought Steam had made some error. Such a genre combination couldn’t possibly exist. And yet, in this stylised stealth title by Tomasz Waclawek and published by Devolver Digital, the spheres of turn based…

One of the many books I probably shouldn’t have read as a youngster, but did anyway, was One Thousand And One Nights. I was a big fan of Disney’s Aladdin, and when I head that Aladdin came from this book (along with a bunch of other stories), I went and…

Financial results/Microsoft/Opinion/sales figures/Sony/Xbox One

Sony has utter dominance over Microsoft (and Nintendo, but for different reasons beyond the scope of this opinion piece). Reports are that Sony is claiming as much as 90 per cent of some European markets, and we all know how popular the Xbox business is in Japan (hint: not very).…

If you’re going to make a robot toy, it’s important to give it a personality. They can be quite expensive, and so to convince people they’re getting their money’s worth, it’s not going to be enough to offer a soulless gadget. It’s got to have character, personality, and something to…

Microsoft Xbox 360/Reviews/Tales From The Borderlands: Episode Three - Catch A Ride/telltale games/Xbox 360 Review

There has been a lot to like about the Telltale games, especially for someone like myself that tends to prefer narrative-heavy titles. That the team often uses source material that I am fond of and familiar with only makes me even more their target demographic. That being said, the nature…
