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…

Review: Backgammon Blitz (Vita)

Backgammon Blitz/board game/classic game/parlour game/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony/VooFoo Studios

Review by Matt S. I’m not surprised that VooFoo Studios decided to make a Backgammon game. After the massive success of its Pure Chess and Hustle Kings parlour games, Backgammon is a natural extension of the capabilities that the team has built up. Unfortunately for VooFoo, while Backgammon Blitz features…

Review: Hands On! Tangrams (3DS)

3DS Review/Enjoy Gaming/Hands On! Tangrams/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS

Review by Nick H. Puzzle games are common on handheld devices like the Vita or DS, and that makes perfect sense because they usually can be played in small sessions, make easy use of touch interfaces as a control option and are much less demanding on the typically small teams…

Interview by Matt S. When you think of the top regions in the world for game development, you’re likely thinking of the US, Canada, the UK and Japan. Sure there’s been some other great developers pop up in other regions (Firemonkeys in Australia and CD Projekt Red in Poland, for…

New Year/New Year 2014/New Year's Resolutions/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. New Year’s is, of course, the time of year to make promises to yourself that will be broken within a week. Every year mine has been to cut back on the alcohol and up the exercise. I’ve already failed this my 2014 resolution. But I’d also…

Coming so soon after Christmas it’s great that we have another opportunity to party, so we’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! I think we’ve all got memories of a New Year that we’ve welcomed in via a gaming marathon. I know for me personally one of the…

2013/looking back/Opinion/Top 10

Opinion by Matt S. With 2013 drawing to a close, I came to start writing this piece by simply sitting back and reflecting back on some of what has happened this year. It is nearly inconceivable just how much has happened to the games industry this year. Sony and Microsoft…

Review: Race to the Line (3DS)

3DS Review/Enjoy Gaming/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Race to the Line/Racing Game/Reviews

Review by Nick H. (Please note that this is the same game as Chevrolet Camaro: Wild Ride, renamed for the US market. You can read our original review here.) Racing games can be a tricky affair, especially on the small screen of a portable device. I have found very few…

Review: Heathcliff: Spot On (3DS)

3DS Review/Enjoy Gaming/Heathcliff: Spot On/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/spot-the-difference

Review by Nick H. I really wanted to like this game more, as Heathcliff was a favourite cartoon character of mine as a kid. He was up there with Marmaduke, Garfield and more when I read the Sunday comics my dad gave me every weekend. Spot On runs with the…

Review: Peggle 2 (Xbox One)

casual games/Microsoft Xbox One/Peggle 2/PopCap Games/Reviews/XB1/Xbox 360/Xbox One review

Review by Nick H. The first Peggle took me by surprise when I played it. I really did not expect much from it, but it seemed like the kind of game that my kids and wife might enjoy, so I picked it up on a whim. I was half-right, because…
