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…

Interview: Cary Walkin, the man who made an RPG in Microsoft Excel

Many of us do not ponder about the capabilities of our word processors and spreadsheets programs. If the programs do the simple tasks that we ask of them, why bother? This is certainly the attitude that I usually have.Little do we realise that those programs are amazingly powerful and most…

Play-Asia

If you’re on the hunt for some cheap games for your consoles, Play-Asia rotates around weekly specials, and there are often some really great bargains to be picked up. So what’s on for this week? After a very disappointing group of specials last week, Play-Asia comes back in style with…

Drakengard 3; some excellent screenshots

Drakengard 3/screenshots/Square Enix

Square Enix is set to release this title in Japan later this fall. This looks to be an action-heavy game with some RPG elements to it. No mention if it will receive release outside of Japan yet or not, but the visuals look excellent so far. – Nick H, Senior…

Marvel Comics announces Superior Spider-Man Team-Up, Aliens loses its Wii U motion tracker, and Dark Horse Comics celebrates 25 issues of DH Presents in this week’s BG News Wrap. Oh, and Star Wars 1313 was almost a Boba Fett game. But you didn’t want to play that did you? Star…

Review: Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge (Xbox 360)

I was one of the rare few that enjoyed the original Ninja Gaiden 3. While I understood what put people off the game, there was a dynamism and intensity in the game that I hadn’t experienced before or since. But the game was indeed a critical disaster, and impressively, in…

Review: Carnage Heart EXA (PSP)

Though the degree of implementation has varied, customisation has been an integral part of gaming for several generations now. Our own Nick H. recently discussed the merits of creations tools and the potential for said utilities to extend a game’s life. What is less common, however, is a title that mandates…

Unfortunately, this is the Japanese Club Nintendo, but I wonder if this might not be a sign of future things to come. Nintendoji is a download available only to platinum (and maybe gold? I have seen conflicting reports on this) Club Nintendo users. Apparently a redeemable code will be sent…

An interesting little trailer has just landed in our inboxes. Developers, Most Wanted, and publisher, bitComposer, has lifted the wrappers on a new Thunder Wolves trailer, and we’re rather looking forward to this one. As you can see from the trailer, this is a bit of an action-heavy chopper combat…

EA/Editorial/facepalm/Opinion/worst company

For the second year in a row, EA has found itself as a finalist in the “worst companies in America” list. Last year it, in fact, won the award. To be perfectly blunt, for the second year in a row I have been rendered speechless (but not without the ability…

Retro Review: Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (3DS)

April 8, 2013

action RPG/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Retro Reviews/Reviews/Zelda/Zelda II

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a huge Zelda fan. The storyline(s), puzzles and creepy characters always put me off as a kid. Unlike Mario, The Legend of Zelda never sucked me in from beginning to end. Indeed, Zelda was one of the few big names of gaming…
