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…

Trailer: Castlestorm sing along

October 18, 2012

Castlestorm/Xbox 360/Xbox Live/Zen Studios

Zen Studios’ latest is a tale of castle razing and war… all set to a snappy tune you can really sing along to. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a trailer quite like this one. It’s Knights vs. Vikings in CastleStorm, where medieval warfare meets 2D physics-based destruction! Controlling the battle…

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy released this week in Japan for the Nintendo 3DS and quite a few screenshots have been coming out as a result. This RPG developed by Silicon Studio and published by Square Enix has only had a release in Japan so far, but I have liked what…

Boo! It’s the PSN update

October 18, 2012

007/doom/PlayStation/PS Vita/PS3/psn update/Silent Hill/Sony

Between the PS+ exclusive Halloween sale, Silent Hill, and Doom 3 BFG- there’s a fair bit of All Hallow’s flavor on the PSN this week. Lots of great stuff posted onto Sony’s online service this third week of October actually. As far as games go; we’ve got Doom 3 BFG…

Sega appears to be pulling out all the stops when it comes to digital re-releases. The last few months have seen the release of NiGHTS Into Dreams, Jet Set Radio, and Sonic Adventure 2. Just the other day, we heard the news that ToeJam and Earl would be returning as…

Hostage Negotiation/max payne 3/PC/PS3/Rockstar/Xbox 360

The Hostage Negotiation pack will bring the requisite new maps, weapons, and factions to the popular noire shooter later this month. Max Payne 3 players itching for a little more of the slo-mo, death dealing they’re used to from their favorite shooter need not wait all that much longer. The…

It’s a Seriously great week on Xbox Live

Batman Arkham City/Borderlands/Serious Sam 3: BFE/Xbox 360/xbox live update/Zombie

Serious as in Serious Sam 3 BFE that is. The all out shooter leads the way on what is a very solid week overall for the Xbox’ download service. Serious Sam 3 BFE originally debuted on the PC and now it’s just kind of snuck up and landed on Xbox…

Review: War of the Roses (PC)

October 17, 2012

Fatshark/Multiplayer/Online/Paradox Interactive/PC Review/Steam/Video Game/War Of The Roses

War of the Roses really sets out to do one basic thing, and it does that rather well. Paradox Interactive has decided to approach online multiplayer with a medieval twist, and the result is this PC title that delivers an experience that is entertaining, but also somewhat limited. So for…

PC/Sega/Steam/Viking Battle for Asgard

Sega is bringing a refreshed version of it’s 2008 hack’n’slash Viking: Battle for Asgard to the PC. Not exactly a huge hit when it originally debuted on the Xbox 360 and PS3 four years ago, Viking nonetheless was a pretty fun time. The game is a straightforward affair and features…

Far Cry 3/Minecraft/PC

Yes, that most requested feature in Minecraft has finally been delivered for the handful who’ve asked for it. Actually, ‘handful’ might be pushing it. In any event, Ubisoft has crafted a map and texture pack for Minecraft on the PC (sorry iOS and XBLA fans) that grafts the look of…
