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…

Final Fantasy x-2 HD Remaster/PS3/Release Information/screenshots/Sony PlayStation 3/Sony PlayStation Vita/Square Enix

There has been a lot of coverage for the Square Enix remastering of Final Fantasy X, but a lot less for Final Fantasy X-2 which was an unexpected but welcome surprise addition. It looks like this may be more than just a fresh coat of high definition paint, as Square…

Ace Patrol/Apple/iOS/iPad/Reviews/Sid Meier/Strategy/tactics game

Sid Meier really does have a midas touch and when 2K Games calls him in, people should pay attention. Despite 2K’s shaky history on the iPad, Sid Meier’s involvement in Ace Patrol has provided one of the finest tactics games yet made on the platform and here is a game…

Anno/Anno Online/Beta/PC/Preview/simulation

Anno Online was a pleasant surprise for me as a gamer. I’m not that familiar with the genre, and of course, bosses like to be sadisitc when handing out games to play. And, to have even more fun at my expense, this boss didn’t go into detail to what it…

Telltale Games’ Poker Night 2 is inspired. Amongst the thousands of Poker games out there here is one that has managed to stand out by playing to Telltale’s unique strength – storytelling. Yep, I was surprised to come to this realisation as well. Poker is a game that does not…

Sidhe is the most veteran, most prominent, and arguably most important game developer that New Zealand has ever seen.
