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…

Remember when Sega released Sonic Jump for various mobile devices back in 2005? Possibly not, given that it was released in the more fragmented pre-iOS and Android days of cell phone gaming and never received much of a push. Nonetheless, Sonic Jump will be making its return very shortly (and…

Four new missions are about to land on the PC and expand the disaster diverting and people saving action of Deep Silver and Quadriga Games’ Emergency 2012. I’ve honestly never heard of Emergency, but it actually looks pretty awesome. An RTS where you save people? Imagine that. From the release:…

What kind of an anniversary celebration is a garage sale? The kind that thanks gamers for their patronage with some awesome price cuts – digitally of course. For one week only, the developer of Bard’s Tale (among others) will be treating fans to discounts of up to 75 per cent…

With one year of Elite in the books, Activision detailed the full DLC scheme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2- including the fact that Elite will be free for all players. It’s a little bit of a surprise to me as the Elite service wasn’t exactly a flop at…
