Opinion: Multiplayer is ruining the video game industry

October 21, 2011

In light of Matt’s opinion piece on how he believes that shooters are killing the games industry, I figured it would be as good a time as any to counter with my argument. This is something that has been stewing in my mind for quite some time but has never…

RAAM casts his shadow on XBL in time for the holidays

October 21, 2011

DLC/gears of war 3/raam's shadow/Xbox 360/Xbox Live

Depending on your ‘zone’, the hotly anticipated expansion to Gears of War 3’s single player campaign will be ready for downlading in time for the Holidays. The pack, titled ‘RAAM’s Shadow’, is actually a prequel to the entire Gears saga. Taking place before Emergence Day, the day when the Locust horde launched…

PSN/PSN Exclusive/Reviews/Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken

I’m not sure how many of you were counted amongst our readership back in June – it seems so long ago, now – but back when I joined the ranks of Digitally Downloaded, my first review was for Red Johnson’s Chronicles, a point-and-click adventure game that simply oozed coolness. Whether…

PlayStation 3 to get movie streaming courtesy of Quickflix

And about time, too. Australia doesn’t have Netflix, so Australian console owners haven’t really had a way to stream movies and digital content through their consoles (though Mubi is awesome, it’s for the cult classics). That’s about to be remedied, thanks to a new partnership with Quickflix. According to a…

Free Realms is a 20 million-player hit

October 20, 2011

Free Realms/sales figures

Sony’s freemium, family friendly MMO, Free Realms, has apparently gone down with gamers really well. Since its launch back in 2009 on PC (and a more recent launch on PS3s), the minigame-heavy formula has apparently resonated well with the youngsters and those not willing to shell out for World of…

Screens: Confrontation (yes, yes, yes!)

October 20, 2011

Confrontation/Cyanide/screenshots

Not many videogamers will recognise the name, but Confrontation is a name with real weight. It was, essentially, a Warhammer competitor tabletop game. The main difference was in the production values. The guys that produced the game, Rackham, made insanely detailed miniatures and ultra-high quality books. Unfortunately as a business…
