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…

DRM/Free/Good old Games/PC/Torchlight

There has been a lot of discussion of digital rights management (DRM) in the video game industry as of late, and much of it is negative. It can all be traced back to the week following the reveal of Microsoft’s Xbox One, where official statements swayed back and fourth until…

Hands on with Final Fantasy XIV Beta (PS3) – Wow!

June 18, 2013

Final Fantasy/Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Preview

Most of us know the story about Final Fantasy XIV; a MMO release so catastrophic that Square Enix had to pull it offline and completely redesign it from the ground up. Now there is a public Beta giving players access to the game for the first time, and I am…

Sega has a couple versions of the upcoming Sonic Lost World coming out, one for the Nintendo Wii U and the other for the 3DS. All of the usual bright colors and crazy landscapes you would expect to see in a Sonic game are present here – and I am…

Romance of the Three Kingdoms/Square Enix/Trailers

Tecmo Koei is best known in the west, perhaps, for the Dynasty Warriors franchise (or, at least, the Koei half of it is). In Japan, though, it is equally popular for the Romance of The Three Kingdoms games. These are hardcore strategy games that stopped being localised in the west…

June 18, 2013

Lego/LEGO Batman 2/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/telltale games

I don’t play too many Lego games these days. It’s not that I don’t enjoy them, but it’s simply that after those excellent Star Wars ones, I’ve felt they’ve been too iterative for their own good. So I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes…

Final Fantasy XIV’s visuals certainly hold up

June 18, 2013

E3 2013/Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn/Release Information/screenshots/Square Enix/trailer

Square Enix has a very tall task on its hands when it releases Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. Creating an MMORPG is no small adventure to begin with, but trying to make players forget the poorly received XIV of the past while bringing in new players will be essential…
