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…

Hong Kong-based eastasiasoft has really exploded onto the development scene. It kicked business off just a few years ago (2007), and has already found itself in possession of a very valuable cult-hit franchise in Rainbow Moon and the upcoming Rainbow Skies. It’s an interesting time to be a start-up games publisher…

Review: Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus (Vita)

March 7, 2013

Action Adventure/Ninja Gaiden/Ninja Gaiden Sigma Plus 2/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony/Team Ninja/Tecmo Koei

I still don’t quite understand where the R18+ rating for Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus came from. This is a game that features violence, but even with the PlayStation Vita enhancements the violence is aging quite badly. It’s more amusing like when an anvil lands on Wile E Coyote’s head…

Konami/Metal Gear Rising Revengeance/PS3/PSN/VR Missions

PC/PS3/telltale games/the walking dead/Xbox 360/Zombies

Telltale’s amazing reinvention of the ‘point and click’ adventure game is now available for zombie-smashers in Australia and New Zealand. I honestly cannot believe this masterpiece of the modern adventure game has been kept from global release till now. It’s stunning, but ‘season 1’ of The Walking Dead is only…

Sony is really working hard for its fans. PlayStation Plus is without a doubt a high-value service, turning hundreds of dollars of games into a single, small, subscription cost. There’s more though. Sony’s answer to the PlayStation Network hack of some years ago was to give away games. Last year…

Apple/Interview/Interviews/iPad/Kan Supabanpot/Microsoft/Microsoft Xbox 360/Ong Bak/Ong Bak Tri/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Studio HIVE/Thailand/XBLA/Xbox/Xbox 360

If you haven’t seen the original Ong Bak film yet, then do yourself a favour and head over to your local video store’s foreign film section. This Thailand martial arts epic stars Tony Jaa, and it’s the kind of no-wires, no stunt-double action work that is so rarely seen in…
