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: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (Wii U)

adventure game/Nintendo/Reviews/The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD/Wii U/Zelda

Since its unveiling at Nintendo Direct in January, I couldn’t help but feel a remake of Nintendo’s Game Cube classic, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, was a bit pointless. Numerous other titles could have used the high-definition treatment and Wind Waker’s original release presentation holds up better than…

Review: Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut (Vita)

Curve Studios/Indie Game/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/PSN/review/Reviews/Sony/Survival Horror/vita

Review by Sam M. I’m often intrigued by games that try to offer more than just an enjoyable experience. When something comes along that has solid gameplay, but also brings with it a deep set of undertones, it makes the venture into the game much more worthwhile. Originally released last…

Review: Magic 2014 – Duels of the Planeswalkers Expansion (PC)

CCG/collectible card game/expansion/Magic 2014 - Duels of the Planeswalkers/Magic the Gathering/PC/PC Review/Reviews

Review by Nick H. Reviewing an expansion is always a difficult thing to do. Generally speaking, they do not stack up quite as well in value when comparing the expansion to a base game. That is the same with the new expansion for Magic 2014. I reviewed the original game to…

Review by Matt S. Let’s get this out of the way before we start the review; if you want to know what I think of Dead or Alive 5’s jiggling breasts and microkinis (yeah, that’s a technical term, go Google if you’re brave and not at work), click on this…

Review: Card Hunter (PC)

Blue Manchu/browser based game/Card Hunter/CCG/PC/PC Review/Reviews

When Card Hunter was pointed out to me, the idea of a web browser collectible card game with strategy elements held immediate appeal for me. I really did not know what to expect – some sort of a Magic: The Gathering Tactics game? That was what I was hoping for,…

Article by Matt S. For someone so often referred to as ‘outspoken,’ French-born game designer and the mind behind Heavy Rain and the upcoming Beyond: Two Souls, David Cage, is remarkably softly spoken. Sitting in a small conference room with nothing but the air conditioning humming in the background his…

Prepare to Sacrifice Souls again

We are big fans of Soul Sacrifice, but I admit when I saw the additional word ‘Delta’ added to the title, I thought we were in for an updated version of the game, like Raganok Odyssey added Ace to its proper title and is planning to update for the Vita.…

Dark Souls II/From Software/Namco Bandai/screenshots

Dark Souls and its predecessor Demon’s Souls were dark, grim affairs that led to many, many player deaths. Dark Souls II promises to offer up more of the same, and the visuals continue to impress with every new batch of screenshots that get released. The character models in the first…

NBA 2K14 is gaining a head of steam as we inch closer to the start of the NBA season. One of the features of NBA 2K is the emphasis on being able to create a player of your own, and that tends to lend itself to all kinds of accessories…
