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…

Review: Gateways (PC)

September 26, 2012

Gateways/Indie/PC/Smudged Cat Games/Steam

Now available on Steam I am not a huge fan of the label “clone”. While I don’t view the word as anything more than the comparison of two very similar pieces of entertainment, to a lot of people the word “clone” usually comes attached with the idea that the secondary…

Grand Theft Auto III/gta3/PSN/Rockstar/Sony

The original open world crime saga is now available on the PSN in North America, tomorrow in the rest of the world. It’s hard to believe that Grand Theft Auto 3 first appeared on the PS2 over ten years ago. It’s also hard to believe that the game never really gets…

Review: Double Dragon Neon (Xbox 360)

A classic gets a synth-rock, neon drenched ’80s revival, as Billy and Jimmy Lee make their return to consoles. Double Dragon (DD) has had a little bit of an odd history, at least it has from my perspective. I remember DD being one of the hottest games on the NES…

Now in the top 50 games awaiting approval, the recently Kickstarted Edge of Space is getting ever closer to a listing on Steam.Handyman Games’ side-scrolling sandbox title has been getting a pretty healthy dose of support from the Steam community since being added to Greenlight for consideration.

Enter the survival horror Capcom’s Resident Evil series began all the back in 1996. Since then, there has been over 20 games released in the series, as well as many films and novels produced off the conspiracies of the Umbrella Corporation. So, given the fact that Resident Evil 6 is…

Review: LittleBigPlanet Vita (Vita)

Little Big Planet/platformer/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/user content

I guess it’s telling that the most popular user-created level in LittleBigPlanet Vita (LBP) is a Mario- themed level. Here we have a game that is nominally a platformer and as such despite its sheer quality it has struggled to step out from Mario’s giant shadow. But in reality LBP…

Endless runners are a popular trick for iOS developers. They’re relatively easy and cheap to throw together, and a good natural fit for iPhone gamers looking for a way to waste a few minutes at a time. Sure they’re about as simple as games get, but sometimes that’s exactly what…
