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…

News by Clark A. The Pokémon anime series may be a quite prolific one, having now gone nearly 850 episodes strong, but that’s not enough to stop TV Tokyo from releasing frequent movies, shorts, and specials to supplement it. The latest of these spin-offs is Pokémon: Mega Evolution Special I,…

Review: Alone in the Dark (iPad)

Alone in the Dark/Atari/Horror/iOS/iPad/Retro/Reviews/Survival Horror

Review by Matt S. Before Resident Evil became the definition of survival horror, there was Alone in the Dark. A truly groundbreaking game, Alone in the Dark was released in 1992, and was one of the very first to feature full, 3D environments and because that visual style was so…

Review: Turtle Tale (3DS)

2D platformer/3DS Review/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Retro/Reviews/Saturnine Games/Turtle Tale

Review by Nick H. Turtle Tale tries its best to take advantage of all that the love that people have for retro gaming, and for the most part it succeeds as a title that would have been right at home on your NES a couple of decades or so ago.…

Review: Drakengard 3 (PlayStation 3)

Access Games/Drakengard/Drakengard 3/JRPG/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Yuko Taro

Review by Matt S. Yoko Taro, the mind behind the Drakengard series (and, of course, Nier, which is all but a Drakengard game), is one of the industry’s true mavericks. He seems to delight in confounding expectations and delivering games that are thematically unique and remorselessly intense. Drakengard 3 is…

Review by Shaan J. There’s always been a great sense of purity and simplicity to Popcap’s Peggle series, and it’s this feeling that has kept me coming back, year after year, to this odd mishmash of pachinko and pinball. In an era of free-to-play games and lengthy campaigns, Peggle is…

Anime Review: Fate/Zero

May 23, 2014

action/anime/anime review/Fate/Zero/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Fate/Zero is far, far more mature than the majority of action anime franchises out there. As much fun as I find the Jump series’ such as JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures, Bleach and One Piece, the silliness can become draining after a while. Fate/Zero is therefore refreshing, because…
