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…

I’m not sure there’s ever a precisely right time to release a…

Review: Gran Turismo 7 (Sony PlayStation 5)

Review: Ethan: Meteor Hunter (PlayStation Vita)

April 22, 2014
Ethan Meteor Hunter/Indie/platformer/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/puzzle platformer/Reviews

Review by Pierre-Yves L. The platforming genre, whether it be action, adventure, puzzle, or something else entirely, has been around for a long time and it’s sometimes hard to find something new and innovative to do that doesn’t give people cause to think “it’s all been done before”. Ethan: Meteor…

First Impressions: Brynhildr in the Darkness (Anime)

April 22, 2014
anime/anime review/Brynhildr/Brynhildr in the Darkness/harem/Horror/school romance

Anime report by Harvard L. You wouldn’t be too wrong to assume that the only thing the horror and school romance genres share is a similar name. Lighthearted romances and terrifying carnage don’t mix well at all, but then mangaka Lynn Okamoto proved us all wrong with Elfin Lied back…

Review: Demon Gaze (PlayStation Vita)

April 22, 2014
Demon Gaze/dungeon crawl/JRPG/Kadokawa Games/NISA/Otaku/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony

Review by Matt S. Largely untouched by Christian tradition, Japan has a different understanding of demons and other spiritual monsters. Where in Christianity demons are unequivocally evil and beyond redemption; they are the embodiment of faith turned sour, in Japan the closest thing to a demon is an Oni –…

Fatal Frame (or Project Zero, depending on your region) Wii U bound!

April 22, 2014
Fatal Frame/Horror/News/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Project Zero/Tecmo Koei

News by Matt S. It must be a day for horror announcements. Moments after the announcement that the Vita is getting two Silent Hill releases, I spy the news that another struggling console, the Wii U, is getting a new game in my other favourite horror series, Fatal Frame. Fatal…

PlayStation Vita to get two Silent Hill ports

April 22, 2014
Horror/Konami/News/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Silent Hill

News by Matt S.  Silent Hill is by far the most intelligent “mainstream” horror franchise. Dealing with weighty issues of guilt, loss, mental instability and religion, the series has always gunned for a higher breed of horror storytelling than some of its more straightforward counterparts (I do mean Resident Evil,…

3D platformer/platformer/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sly Cooper/Sony/Stealth/The Sly Trilogy

Review by Sam M. Although the Sly Trilogy was released on the PlayStation 3 way back in 2010 and now it has stealthy appeared on the PlayStation Vita, and that’s a good thing, since in this package are some of the finest 3D platformers you’ll ever play. The first game,…

First Impressions: Mushishi Season 2 (Anime)

Anime report by Harvard L.  The first season of Mushishi was one of the most charming and engrossing anime I’ve ever watched. It’s a slow paced series set in rural Japan, mixing elements of spirit detective, slice of life and Lovecraftian horror maintaining a relaxed, contemplative tone. It was unlike…

Review by Chris I. RedLynx is no stranger to the iOS Marketplace; the fantastic port of its WiiWare hit MotoHeroz, Monster Truck Nitro and its DrawRace games have all been found in the top rankings of the charts throughout the years. As an avid fan of its Trials series though,…

Review: Yomi (iPad)

April 20, 2014
card game/David Sirlin/Fighting game/iOS/iPad/Reviews/Yomi

Review by Harvard L.  The fighting game genre is one which really hasn’t changed a whole lot since its inception. Ever since players of Street Fighter 2 back in 1991 realised that using certain moves one after the other created an unescapable chain, the “combo” was born and along with…
