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…

Child of Light/JRPG/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/RPG/Sony PlayStation Vita/Ubisoft

Review by Matt S. Child of Light blew us away when it was released on the various home consoles not long ago. Beyond the fact it was visually beautiful, the game featured a breathtaking soundtrack and an intelligent, articulate, and creative approach to storytelling. Short of having a gaming laptop,…

July 10, 2014
End of Serenity/JRPG/Kemco/Natsume/PlayStation/PSP/Retro/Reviews

Review by Clark A. It takes only a handful of screenshots to ascertain End of Serenity’s role as a retro-style, Final Fantasy clone. As yet another JRPG being released late in the aging PSP’s life, it doesn’t exactly have grand expectations riding on its shoulders. That lack of hype is…

Impressions by Clark A. Despite its popularity, the first season of Sword Art Online was met with rather mixed critical reception. Popular points of contention included a central protagonist deemed to be a Gary Stu, the show’s uneven pacing, and a second story arc deemed wholly inconsequential. Much as I…

FPS/PC/PC Review/Rebellion/Reviews/Shooter/Sniper/Sniper Elite 3/Sniper Elite III

Review by Nick H. The Sniper Elite series is not for everyone. It presents a slower, more tactical side to shooters than the popular quick twitch Call of Duty or Battlefield games. But the series has its fans. The previous Sniper Elite often felt stifled, to the point where it…
