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…

Review by Nick H. As the fourth chapter in Telltale’s five episode series based on monsters and mythology, In Sheep’s Clothing has the unenviable task of trying to tie up a lot of loose ends while propelling the story forward to its conclusion. I came away from this episode somewhat…

Review by Clark A. The exceedingly niche Monster Monpiece has been shrouded in controversy ever since Idea Factory announced the game would be receiving a release beyond Japanese shores. It’s no secret why some audiences deemed the game inappropriate; take a gander at the animation on the game’s Wikipedia page (remembering…

DLC Review: Europa Universalis IV: Wealth of Nations (PC)

DLC/DLC Review/Europa Universalis/Europa Universalis IV/grand strategy/Paradox Interactive/Reviews/RTS/Strategy/Wealth of Nations

Review by Matt S. As far as I’m concerned, Europa Universalis IV is the greatest strategy game out there for anyone who takes their strategy games seriously. It combines a lovely presentation and interface with detailed, complex empire management strategy and a rich understanding of history (something most strategy fans…

News by Matt S. Anyone who knows me knows that of all Tecmo Koei Warriors franchises, it is Samurai Warriors that is my favourite. Samurai Warriors 3 on the Nintendo Wii was a game I spent literally hundreds of hours on (and can no longer play online with friends, sadface).…

Review by Rob P. Today, I’d like to talk about an insidious evil that threatens our very society. It’s all around us. It’s on the bus, on the train, in the fields, on the beach. It starts slowly, with a scuff or a scratch. Left unchecked, it spreads rapidly, leaving…

Preview by Matt S. Getting some hands on time with Codemasters’ upcoming GRID Autosport was my first experience with the popular racing franchise. I came away from the experience very much impressed, but whether the game is going to pull me away from Gran Turismo 6 as my go-to for…

The Aussie dev behind TownCraft has announced its second game, and it’s very different

Australia/Flat Earth Game/Indie/Metrocide/News/Towncraft

News by Matt S. Flat Earth Games, the Sydney-based indie that truly impressed us with its excellent debut, Towncraft, has announced its second game; Metrocide. This game is a very (very) different experience to Towncraft. Set it a futuristic, crime-ridden city, this stealth-action game promises to be very, very difficult,…
