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…

Gadget Review: Razer BlackWidow Ultimate keyboard

May 1, 2014

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Razer/Razer BlackWidow

Review by Matt S. So many enthusiast keyboards deliberately aim for an aesthetic that tells people “I’m here for the hardcore gamer, so if you’re not one, go away.” Industrial metallic greys and a form factor designed to take as much space as possible combine to create something that by…

News by Matt S. Sony held a brief event where it showcased its commitment to indie and self published games. The numbers are impressive, to say the least. According to Sony, there have already been 21 self-published games made available on the PlayStation 4, and 20 million units have been…

Review: Daylight (PC)

April 30, 2014

Daylight/Horror/PC/Reviews/Survival Horror/Zombie Studios

Review by Harvard L. Developed by Zombie Studios as its first foray into the horror genre, in the leadup to its release Daylight looked like a promising horror game which aimed to scare through atmosphere rather than gore. Its procedurally generated environments would encourage exploration, and provide a different experience…

Review: Child of Light (PlayStation 4)

2D platformer/Art/Art Game/Child of Light/JRPG/platformer/PlayStation/PlayStation 4/puzzle platformer/Reviews/Ubisoft

Review by Matt S. Child of Light is a poem, both literally and figuratively. I resist to even call it a game; it simply stands as a testament to the true artistry that an interactive work can achieve when a developer is allowed to simply create. Clearly unburdened by commercial…

Review: Tabletop Simulator (Early Access; PC)

April 30, 2014

kickstarter/PC/Reviews/tabletop game/Tabletop simulator

Review by Owen S. Tabletop Simulator, like all of the successfully funded projects on Kickstarter, represents a wonderful idea. It promised much; to provide a virtual environment in which to play out classic board games as they are played in person. Griefing by flipping the board over and all. Right…

Bandai Namco Games/Dark Souls/Dark Souls II/From Software/PC/Reviews

Review by Nick H. Dark Souls II ticks all of the boxes you would expect from this series now. Challenging gameplay, rewarding victories, gorgeous areas to explore and lots of character death. Lots and lots of character death. Part of what makes Dark Souls 2 so fascinating is that it…

First impressions: Nyaruko: Crawling With Love!

anime/anime news/anime review/Nyaruko/Nyaruko Crawling With Love

Anime report by Matt S. I don’t understand this anime in the slightest. I like it, but I don’t understand it. The concept is that Lovecraft’s monsters have, for some reason, turned into remarkably attractive young humans. In the process they’ve also developed emotions and a sense of morality and…
