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…

Harmonix/PlayStation/PS3/PSN

The Wii had a bit of a reputation for being a console of shovelware and great Nintendo first-party titles, but the reality is that there were a lot of great releases that flew under the radar. In this semi-regular feature we’ll pick out some of the forgotten classics from the…
