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…

action/Apple/Atypical Games/Battle Supremacy/iOS/iPad/Reviews/Shooter/tank game/World Of Tanks

Review by Matt S. Whenever a game becomes a mega-hit, clones inevitably follow. From Mario to Angry Birds, Call of Duty to GTA, the industry’s most popular games have “inspired” any number of me-too iterations. Occasionally a developer will even manage to improve on the formula. Battle Supremacy is an…

Art Game/Jonathan Jones/kickstarter/Opinion/The Guardian

Opinion by Matt S. Jonathan Jones over at The Guardian has held the attitude for quite some time that games are not art. He’s argued it in the past, and after receiving a PlayStation 3 and, apparently, Tomb Raider, he’s maintaining that argument. I found it somewhat amusing that he…

Review by Shaan J. When it comes to video games (especially indie platformers), we are very quick to slap a “retro” label on new titles. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing; it’s a lot easier (from a technical and production standpoint) to hearken back to old-school graphics. But most of…

Opinion by Matt S. Sony has unveiled its Cloud gaming plans in full, with the PlayStation Now subscription service to allow people to stream older games (PlayStation 3 and earlier) to their 2014 Bravia TVs, PlayStation 4s, Vitas and a host of other devices… without the need of a PlayStation…

Opinion by Matt S. PS Plus’s January update in Europe is spectacular. Frighteningly so. On the PS3, folks will be able to pick up Devil May Cry and Borderlands 2. On the Vita, Soul Sacrifice and BlazBlue, and on the PS4, indie arthouse smash hit Don’t Stave. These are not…

Opinion by Matt S. Yep, I’m going there; it’s list time! I fully expect 2014 to be something special in terms of games, as developers start to realise the potential of the newest consoles on the market, while the last gen and Wii U enjoy continued support from developers quite…
