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…

Android/Apple/Hardware/Hardware Review/iOS/iPad/iPhone/mac/PC/Reviews/SteelSeries

Well, this is embarrassing. It’s time to write my first hardware review for DigitallyDownloaded, but I seem to have lost the gadget in question. I’ve checked my laptop bag, my briefcase and my rucksack. I’ve scoured my man-shelf. I’ve even – radically, I thought – checked that I haven’t put…

Of all the Game Boy and Game Boy Color titles that we’ve seen released on the Nintendo 3DS to date, Harvest Moon is the one I have been looking forward to the most (well, that and the Final Fantasy Legends trilogy… Get to work Square Enix). Why? Because this is…

A sequel to the PC game Magicka– released in 2011 – sees the charm and the gameplay that made the PC original so great, is now all re-created in the palm of your hands. What Magicka: Wizards of the Square Tablet offers is a great multiplayer experience for the iPad. Wizards…

Bubble Gum Interactive/Interview/Interviews/Jetpack Jinx/Phil Mason/Space Heroes Universe

With all the discussions around hyper-violent games like the Call of Duty and Bioshock games that are out there, it’s often easy to forget there are successful developers out there making games without a drop of blood.
