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: Tanto Cuore (iPad)

Apple/card game/iOS/iPad/iPhone/Playdek/Reviews/Tanto Cuore

Review by Matt S. I worry for whoever came up with this idea for a game. Tanto Cuore is a card game all about collecting maids. Yes. Collecting. Maids. Somewhere in some dude’s (I’m sure it’s a guy who invented this game) mind the idea of having a game entirely…

Hardware Review: Mad Catz S.T.R.I.K.E.3 Gaming Keyboard

Review by Rob P. Glorious, glorious plastic. If it can work for the iPhone then it can work for this, the latest in Mad Catz’ range of Pro Gaming keyboards. Previous models – the jaw-dropping STRIKE7, and the built-like-a-brick STRIKE5 – employed a hefty frame with a matte non-slip coating.…

Preview by Matt S. Something spectacular happened when I got some hands on time with Super Mario 3D World at the EB Games Expo 2013 show; everyone was participating as equals. Five levels were on show at the Expo, and I got to play them all. In each case the…

Australia/Dale Ward/EB Expo 2013/Interview/Interviews/Orbitor

Interview by Aidan B. At the EB Games Expo 2013, one of the more entertaining sections was the Aussie indies section.

PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Strategy/Team 17/turn based/Worms/Worms Revolution

Review by Matt S. Well, it was inevitable that Worms would eventually make its way to the PlayStation Vita. The folks at Team 17 have adapted the insanity to every other platform, so why not also Sony’s powerhouse? Now, these games don’t have a good track record on the handheld…

If you’re a fan of RPGs and you haven’t experienced a Spiderweb Software game at least once, then you’re doing it wrong. This little indie developer has, for years, churned out classic RPG after classic RPG. We’re talking isometric graphics, reams of text to wade through, and narratives that you…

Review by Andrew M. The adventure game genre has had a real resurgence on the back of The Walking Dead game franchise. And with that comes more casual titles that play on the same genre appeal, but offer a significantly gentler experience. Enter Brightstone Mysteries: Paranormal Hotel. It doesn’t come…

3DS/JRPG/Neverland/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/Rune Factory/Rune Factory 4/simulation/XSEED

Review by Clark A. Many will regard Rune Factory 4 as yet another release in the farming meets fighting franchise. While that is indeed an accurate assessment, this particular entry perfects the balance of said components and expands on them with variety that outweighs other major players in the genre.…
