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 now know that the Zone of the Enders games have held up remarkably well over the years, but the HD remake of these games does prove something else: HD remakes are a problem. I haven’t played an Enders game since they were new back on the PlayStation 2. I…

Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will indeed be making the perilous trek from PC to consoles- and with stylish 16-bit graphics! Some may chuckle a bit at the announcement that was released to Gamesbeat today since Isaac creator Ed McMillen isn’t really the biggest pal of console makers everywhere, but nevertheless…

failure/games industry/Nolan Bushnell/Opinion/Peter Molyneux

It is becoming increasingly apparent to me that the games industry is utterly intolerant of failure. And this is a far bigger problem than many realise. Recently, the ‘father of videogames,’ Nolan Bushnell, came out on Twitter and said that he “doesn’t really understand” the Wii U. A statement like…

November 27, 2012

Dennaton Games/Hotline Miami/PC

Hotline Miami definitely has its place among the rest of 2012’s games, with few other contenders challenging to exceed or even…

All Stars Battle Royale/Fighting game/Multiplayer/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Sony/Video review

Smash Brothers clone? Smash Brothers beater? Work of genius, or just plain hack job? PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale has been a controversial game since it was first announced, as for many it represented a very cynical ploy by Sony to capitalise on a multi-million dollar franchise.
