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…

Akane the Kunoichi/iPad/iPhone/platformer/Reviews

Way, way back, our (then new) editor, Clark, wrote one of his first reviews for Digitally Downloaded: a little indie game on XBLA called Akane the Kunoichi. He rather liked it, and now it’s finally on the other great indie platform, the iOS App Stores. This is a good thing…

Review: Devil Band – Rock the Underworld (DSiWare)

June 19, 2012

Devil Band/DSiWare/Reviews/Strategy/Tower defence

Oh look. Another Circle DSiWare game. And you know what? I owe Gameloft an apology. I thought Gameloft was the most offensively cynical developer/ publisher in the games industry, getting away with plagiarism on mere technicalities. But I was wrong. Gameloft’s got nothing on the depth these guys will sink.…
