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 love trivia, quizzes, and all that stuff. In fact, one of the best things about not working from an office is that every weekday I get to indulge myself during daytime TV to watch the brilliant British quiz show, The Chase. In fact, if I ever start working from…

Back when I was a child, I had a mild addiction to a little card game that came, one pack of cards at a time, with a magazine I was collecting about dinosaurs. The card game itself wasn’t much more than a Top Trumps game, in which each dinosaur had…

After a controversial performance at E3, Nintendo badly needed some good news and PR to get things back on track. Thankfully that happened today, with the company announcing that its latest million-selling franchise is Splatoon. Splatoon is a new IP for the company, and is effectively Nintendo’s take on the…

Devil May Cry 4, when it was first released, was a big deal, as the third in the series was a prequel, so it was the first progression to the story since the second title. Now it’s back, and Devil May Cry 4 has been given the Special Edition treatment…

I am getting so sick of Hyperdimension Neptunia games. It seems like every month at the moment Compile Heart has a new one to inflict on us, and so soon after Hyperdimension Neptunia U: Action Unleashed I just wasn’t in the mood for any more of these games. And yet…

The first major expansion to Square Enix’s revitalised Final Fantasy XIV, Heavensward, has now landed. This expansion continues one of the most fascinating MMOs that we’ve ever seen.

I’m not entirely sold on the long-term validity of the classic point-and-shoot camera. Though there will forever be a place for SLR cameras for enthusiasts and professional photographers, the point-and-shoot camera is surely under fire from the increasingly powerful cameras that are included with any and all phones.
