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…

3DS/Code Name STEAM/E3/E3 2014/Intelligent Systems/Nintendo

News by Clark A. It seemed like most major Nintendo news had been outed after the Nintendo Digital Event at E3, but a certain fellow by the name of Reginald quickly reminded us of a 90 minute conference for a “surprise” new 3DS game. Naturally most fans threw around the…

Review by Matt S. Take Dead Island, and cross it with Diablo. Sounds great, right? This is the game that How To Survive aspires to be. The good news is that it’s perfectly serviceable. The bad news is that that’s all it is. How To Survive is a story that…

Review by Sam M. The Vita has one of the strongest mobile games libraries, and the gameplay of Lemmings perfectly fits in with what the console does best. The main premise behind this classic series is that the player indirectly directs little creatures known as Lemmings from the entrance of…

News by Matt S. Rhythm game, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva f absolutely took me by storm when it was released earlier this year. It was challenging, it had great music, and Hatsune Miku is a star. The E3 trailer for the sequel promises pretty much the same thing, but I’m…

E3/E3 2014/News/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Sony/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. One of the things that continues to vex me is this argument that many people seem to be making that the PlayStation Vita somehow “lacks games.” Apparently if a console hasn’t got AAA-stuff from the platform owner, people mistake that to mean it hasn’t got ANY…

Dragon Quest/Dragon Quest VIII/iPad/JRPG/Retro/Reviews/Square Enix

Review by Matt S. There is a classical beauty about Dragon Quest games. Square Enix’s venerable franchise has remained resolutely traditional throughout its long history, even as its stablemate, Final Fantasy, has taken some risks and offended some people in the process. Because the Dragon Quest games have always adhered…
