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…

DLC Review: Dark Souls 2: Crown of the Old Iron King (Microsoft Xbox 360)

September 11, 2014

360 Review/Dark Souls II/Dark Souls II: Crown of the Old Iron King/DLC/DLC Review/JRPG/PlayStation/Reviews/Xbox 360

Review by Shaan J. After a trio of add-on expansions was first announced for Dark Souls II, I had the feeling that From Software would be dishing them out in small, bite-sized pieces of content this time, compared to the arguably meatier experience that was Artorias of the Abyss (the…

Indie/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/space game/Thorium Wars: Attack of the Skyfighter

Review by Jim S. If you’re a fan of Star Fox then Thorium Wars: Attack of the Skyfighter may be initially interesting to you, just by looking at its profile on the Nintendo eShop. This is a sequel to a DSiWare game called Thorium Wars (surprised?). It’s a space shooter…

News by Jedediah H. Scheduled for release in Japan on the 27th of September with, sadly, no European or American release confirmed, Fatal Frame 5/ Project Zero looks to utilize the Wii U GamePad in the most intuitive fashion yet – as a real world camera that will surely inspire…

Resident Evil Revelations 2 gets the weekly-episodic-download treatment

Capcom/Horror/News/Resident Evil Revelations 2/Survival Horror

News by Jedediah H. Do you enjoy Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead? More explicitly, do you enjoy a good cliffhanger, the plot device that leaves a character in an uncertain, hopeless situation or introduces astonishing information at the end of a serialised episode that leaves you simultaneously discouraged and in friend-strangling…

Review: To End All Wars (PC)

Ageod/grand strategy/PC/Reviews/Slitherine/To End All Wars/Wargame

Review by Matt S. To End All Wars is a strategy game you may well never hear about. In a year where the world is “celebrating” the 100 year anniversary of World War 1, we’ve seen plenty of game developers offer us their take on the conflict. We’ve got the…

News by Jedediah H. Become acquainted with the AI lord who would see you defeated: the scowling, aggressive, unpredictable antagonist of the Stronghold series, The Wolf, returns to taunt you over the insecurities of your action plan or flat out mock you with witty hyperbole when you request his support…

Review: Tales of Xillia 2 (Sony PlayStation 3)

September 10, 2014

action RPG/Bandai Namco/JRPG/PlayStation 3 Review/PS3/PS3 Review/Reviews/Tales/Tales of Xillia 2

Review by Clark A. For as long as the Tales franchise has been running, it’s impressive that only two true “sequels” exist. There’s a certain appeal in revisiting the characters of a past instalment after a grand quest, but it’s also challenging to execute a story that doesn’t feel tacked…

Assassin's Creed Liberation HD/inFamous: First Light/Opinion/Women

Opinion by Matt S. The recent release of inFamous: First Light has got me thinking. As a standalone DLC, it’s pretty good value, and it certainly has a lead character in Fetch that is an order of magnitude more interesting than the Delsin the tool. But this DLC pack also…
