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…

anime/anime review/Blue Exorcist/Blue Exorcist: The Movie

Review by Matt S.  Prior to watching this 90-minute self contained episode of Blue Exorcist, I had no idea what the series was about. After watching the “movie” I’ve become a fan. There are several very good reasons why an anime series might be well served with a movie-length special;…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Warhammer 40k has been around for a long time and it has also done rather well for itself with its unique take on the miniatures which players can paint as they see fit. These miniatures are used for tabletop combat and as an avid player of…

Review: Always Sometimes Monsters (PC)

May 29, 2014
Always Sometimes Monsters/Devolver Digital/Indie/PC/Reviews/story game

Review by Matt S. A few years ago, a small developer had the bright idea to take RPG Maker, and use it to tell a story. There was no combat, no experience levels. This game offered nothing more than a touching and at times troubling look at humanity through the…

Review by Matt S. As we announced yesterday, Madman Entertainment in Australia has just launched a streaming service for its extensive anime catalogue. AnimeLab is its name, and after playing around with it in Beta, I’m convinced that the company is on to a true winner. Unlike other anime streaming…

News by Matt S. Multiplayer-only combat games are a bit in vogue right now, with examples such as Paradox’s War of the Roses and Vikings catching the eye of other developers. Bethesda’s newly-formed BattleCry Studios is one such example, and BattleCry is to be its first game. BattleCry is a…

Review by Brad L. Sparkle 2 is nothing new, let us get this out of the way from the get go. Many people may remember a game called ‘Zuma’ by PopCap Games, even fewer would remember Puzz Loop, a similar match-three bubble shooting game that was only released in Japan,…

Indie/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/RPG/Squids Odyssey/Tactics RPG/Wii U

Review by Matt S.  I love RPGs. I love them because they provide a more cerebral experience than most other genres. RPGs are narrative-rich experiences, and their sheer length means that developers can do a lot with those narratives. It’s not an understatement to say that modern RPGs are starting…

News/The Evil Within/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. We have a lot of hope for The Evil Within. With Resident Evil’s degeneration into a safe action series, the horror genre itself has been left for independent developers, and while these games are often great, we can’t help but hope that a horror game with…
