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…

We do try and cover as much as possible at Digitally Downloaded, but it would be impossible to cover everything, and besides, variety is the spice of life. You may or may not have noticed that we have slowly been building up a network of friendly sites who offer some…

Dr Mario/Dr Mario Online Rx/Reviews/WiiWare

Puzzle games like Dr. Mario have been around for ages, drifting from console to console and finding new fans along the way. However, things rarely change from one installment to the next. Dr. Mario Online Rx tries some new ideas, but inadvertently reminds us why formulas stay the same. The core gameplay…

Though Cloud gaming service OnLive isn’t up for sale just yet, the founder of the company, Steve Perlman, is a entrepreneur who sets up companies to be acquired.

Review: Sonic The Hedgehog: Triple Trouble (3DS Virtual Console)

Game Gear/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Retro Reviews/Sonic

Confession time: I’ve never been a huge fan of Sonic games. I’m not particularly good at them, and there just hasn’t been enough to them to inspire me to become good at them. The characters, colours and overall charm has always been on the wrong side of over-the-top for me.…

Final Fantasy/Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles My Life as a King/Reviews/WiiWare

With the impending launch of the Wii U and very few releases of note on the horizon, WiiWare seems to be in its dying days. What’s interesting is that one of the service’s most technically advanced games didn’t show up near the end, but has been here all along –…

Review: Game & Watch Gallery 2 (3DS Virtual Console)

Game and Watch Gallery/Game Boy/minigames/Nintendo 3DS/Retro Reviews/Virtual Console

Game & Watch Gallery is still one of the best value downloads on the 3DS Virtual Console. Perfect for short bursts of play and backed by some especially strong Mario-themed remakes of the classic LCD minigames it’s a game that has remained high on my rotation. The sequel feels like…

3DSWare/Bird Mania 3D/casual games/eShop/review/Teyon

Bird Mania 3D is significant in a few ways. Firstly, it’s the first Nintendo eShop game to be retailed at $2 USD. The game also signifies developer Teyon’s entrance into the eShop marketplace. However, the more interesting event that the game signifies is that it’s the 3DS’s first game that…

Review: Mario Kart 64 (Wii Virtual Console)

Mario Kart 64/N64/Reviews/Virtual Console

Mario Kart is easily the biggest of Nintendo’s Mario spin-off games – for good reason. The first title on the Super Nintendo popularized a subgenre of racing; one that would give way to many clones over the years. The same praise can’t be said for its first sequel, but it’s…
