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 Matt S. When the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were launched, my interest in the consoles was not the additional power that they would bring. Highly detailed visuals are nice, but we’re at a stage in the development of the games industry where aesthetics are, finally, more important…

Review: Super League Football table for Zen Pinball 2 (PlayStation 4)

Review by Matt S. This isn’t going to be a full-length review, since it is just a single pinball table DLC for Zen Pinball 2. But I did feel like it was worth running a brief review on it, because of the many (many) tables available through Zen Pinball 2,…

Review: Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition (PlayStation 4)

Action Adventure/PlayStation/PlayStation 4/review/Reviews/Sony/Square Enix/Tomb Raider/Tomb Raider (Seventh Generation)/Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition

Review by Matt S. The Tomb Raider reboot is worthy of a great deal of praise. It was quality entertainment when it was originally released on last-gen consoles, and the same remains true for the upscaled PlayStation 4 game. If you are a console-orientated person, and don’t have a high-spec…

Review by Jim S. What happens when you mix Castlevania and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time? You get AeternoBlade. AeternoBlade is a 2D action platformer where you play as Freyja, a young woman whose village was destroyed by Beladim, the Dark Lord of Mist. If that doesn’t give…

Sacred 3 is finally happening

News/release date/Release Dates/RPG/Sacred 3

News by Matt S. Sacred 3 was announced years ago now. In fact, we were initially promised that it was going to be a 2013 release back in 2012. It’s a game that we’ve been looking forward to, too. Sacred 2 has its rough moments, but it was a truly…

Microsoft Xbox One/platformer/rayman/Rayman Legends/Reviews/Ubisoft/XB1/Xbox 360/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. Platforming games were my bread and butter growing up. I had some older consoles like the TI99/4a and Atari to keep me busy as a little kid and then when the NES came out I got to experience the wonders of Super Mario Bros. and more.…

Deadly Premonition has gone cheap on PlayStation Network

Deadly Premonition/News/sale/sales figures

News by Matt S. If you haven’t picked yourself up a copy of Deadly Premonition yet, then I must admit I’m a little disappointed in you. It’s one of the most creative and intelligent games ever developed, after all. But, if for some reason you have held off, then some…

Trailer: The Order: 1886 is looking slick

February 19, 2014

News/PlayStation/PlayStation 4/Sony/The Order/The Order: 1886/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. One of the best things about a new console generation is that publishers tend to create new IP and be a little more experimental at this time. The Order: 1886, an upcoming PlayStation 4 title to be published by Sony, is an example of that trend…

PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Retro/Reviews/Sony/Tempest/TxK

Review by Matt S. I never thought someone would think to modernise Tempest. The classic arcade game from 1981 was certainly a wonderful game for its time, but it never became iconic like some other classic games (think Space Invaders, Asteroid and Pac-Man). But here we are with TxK, which…
