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: Chainsaw Warrior (iPad)

Apple/board game/Chainsaw Warrior/iPad/iPhone/Reviews/The Games Workshop

Review by Andrew M. One of the best things about the tablet market today is ability for developers to take our childhoods and turn them into iOS apps. I’ve got fond memories of epic games of Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit and Risk, and now I can now relive it anywhere. Not…

Opinion by Matt S. I think we all knew that a new Mass Effect game was going to happen at some point, but it’s been formally confirmed now. The problem is, as much as the BioWare fan in me is looking forward to a new Mass Effect game, the realist…

Activision wins big with Call of Duty: Ghosts, the Wii Mini heads to US shores, Konami defines the duality that is Metal Gear Solid V and the PS4 isn’t a fan of media streaming (or playback) – all in today’s News Wrap. Activision cashes in with Ghosts to the tune…

Children Of Mana/Dragon Quest/Dragon Quest Monsters/Final Fantasy IV/Final Fantasy Tactics/Fire Emblem/Friday 10s/Infinite Space/Opinion/Shiren the Wanderer/The Dark Spire/Top 10

List by Matt S. Without a doubt the Nintendo DS was a JRPG powerhouse. Developers were able to create meaty, in-depth experiences for a relatively low cost on the console, making it perfect for cash-strapped JRPG houses. Coming up with a list of my favourite ten JRPGs for the little…

Review by Michael B. Before I go onto the review proper, I want to point out two things. Firstly, I was never able to get Gravi to run in Steam’s Offline Mode. This was tested on both a laptop and a dedicated gaming desktop. I have contacted the developer Hashbang…

Battlefield/Battlefield 4/DICE/EA/FPS/PC/Reviews

Review by Sam M. Another year comes and goes and with it comes the latest instalment in the Battlefield series. Battlefield 4 is what you’ve come to expect from the series but at the same time, the developer, DICE, has taken a lot of time to refine the game and…

Australia/Classification Board/classifications/Deadly Premonition/Deadpoo/facepalm/Gears of War Judgement/Killer is Dead/Splinter Cell Blacklist/the walking dead

UPDATE: Games industry legal professional, Josh Cavaleri, has confirmed for me over Twitter that the publishers will not need to front the cost of the re-review. No, the Australian taxpayers will foot the bill. What a way to use our money, folks. Twelve MA15+ rated games are going to go…

Preview by Sam M. There aren’t many games that make me stop and look at every little individual aspect of a game. Tearaway does that. Brought to you by Media Molecule, the same team behind the LittleBigPlanet series, Tearaway brings the same creativity and pure joy that you would expect…

Cherry Pop Games/PC/PC Review/Pool/Pool Nation/Reviews/Sports/Steam

Review by Nick H. The game’s title is fairly simple, and in essence so is the game of pool. However, Cherry Pop Games deserves some serious credit for coming up with a game of pool that does not just ‘work’, but is a lot of fun to play as well.…

Review: Arma Tactics (PC)

Arma/Arma Tactics/Bohemia Interactive/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Steam/Strategy/tactics game

Review by Nick H. The idea behind Arma Tactics appeals to me on many levels. Having played and enjoyed the Arma shooting titles, I liked the idea of a tactical game based on the series. Described as a turn-based combat strategy game, Arma Tactics drops you into a scenario without…
