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…

Max Payne and painful memories are two things that go together like peanut butter and jelly. I don’t know if old Max has any ‘happy memories’ rolling around in his noggin, but painful ones- oh Lord yes. He’s got lots of those. Maybe that’s why Rockstar Games dubbed the forthcoming…

A high yen value, high costs of doing business, a depressed global economy cutting into demand for premium products, and low-cost competition from electronics companies out of China and South Korea are biting deep…
