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…

I am a huge Magic fan. I play it every night with coworkers, my son and I have decks we play at home and I have purchased every release of Duels of the Planeswalkers, having tried it on PC, iPad, PS3 and 360. You could safely say I am familiar…

The wildly successful reboot of the legendary Mortal Kombat franchise was initially refused classification in Australia. Too violent and all that. So, believe it or not, this release of the Komplete edition is the first opportunity that many Australians have had to play the game. Sadly, a release date just…

eShop/Nintendo/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Tetris/Tetris Axis
