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…

Hang out with Lo Wang out: Shadow Warrior coming to PS4 and Xbox One this fall

September 16, 2014

Devolver Digital/Flying Wild Hog/Microsoft Xbox One/News/Shadow Warrior/Sony PlayStation 4

News by Jedediah H. Because I’m primarily a console gamer, when I viewed a PC Let’s Play video of Shadow Warrior and its amusing, sardonic swordsman Lo Wang as he segregated humiliated limbs from arrogant torsos, I was crestfallen. “When do I get to pwaaay?” I childishly asked, pink pacifier…

Preview by Pierre-Yves L. There are some things that once buried should stay that way. Like zombies. No one wants to see zombies. There are other things that we should be glad to see back, however. Gauntlet, for example. This arcade franchise hasn’t seen a new release since the PlayStation…

Hellblade/News/Ninja Theory/Sony PlayStation 4/trailer

News by Jedediah H. Ninja Theory, the skilful developer of DMC, Heavenly Sword, and the under-appreciated (by my wacky estimate) Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (which is leagues better than the film inspired by the same novel), has been busting its talented, brawny buttocks working on what it describes as…

3DS Review/music game/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/rhythm game/Square Enix/Theatrhythm/Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call

Review by Matt S. Whoever thought up the concept of the original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy was a genius. With music being one of the strengths of the Final Fantasy franchise that has remained consistent throughout its history, even as people have waxed and waned about the entertainment value of individual…

Preview by Matt S. Nintendo recently released a limited number of codes to try out its upcoming Smash Bros. game on the Nintendo 3DS. We were fortunate to be able to test out the game, so we thought it would be worth doing a brief write-up about it. First things…

Contest by Matt S. Fairy Fencer F is the latest game from the very prolific Compile Heart, being localised courtesy of NISA and is due for release very soon. Billed as a more serious take on the Hyperdimension Neptunia series (well, marginally more series, this is Compile Heart we’re talking…

List by Matt S. Everyone likes a top-10 list. They’re a bit of fun, and always good for discussion. And so every so often we pull together a “top 10” list. These are here for fun and laughs – we’re not pretending that we’re the authority of good games taste…

Review by Nick H. This is quite literally one of the more colourful mice on the market, and while I can certainly appreciate the aesthetics, that would mean nothing if the thing didn’t do its job. The ENHANCE GX-M1 is a pretty simple gaming mouse, but it has just enough…
