Apologies, overseas friends, but I’m sure we’ll have another contest for you soon) Stranger Of Paradise is one of the finest, and smartest, games in Square Enix’s storied series. As we wrote in our 4.5/5 review: Do you know that…

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: FlatOut 4 (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 30, 2017

Arcade/arcade racing/flatout/FlatOut 4/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Racing Game/Reviews

Review by Jim S. FlatOut 4 is a sequel to an absolutely terrible game. Sure the first two, in a series that stretches back as far as 2004, had been decent enough, but FlatOut 3 was that bad that it should have been a franchise ending event. Thankfully that was…

Review: Out of the Park Baseball 18 (PC)

March 29, 2017

Out of the Park Baseball 18/Out of the Park Developments/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/simulation/sports game

Review by Harvard L. I’ll gladly preface this review by saying I’m not the biggest baseball fan in the world – I was drawn to Out of the Park more for the spreadsheets rather than the sport – but I can confess that my time with the 2018 edition of…

Review: Everything (Sony PlayStation 4)

Alan Watts/Art Game/David O'Reilly/double fine/Experimental/Exploration/philosophy/PlayStation 4. Reviews/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/walking simulator

Review by Matt C. You’d probably think me crazy if I told you that you are, in the most literal sense possible, the chair you’re sitting on and the house in which you reside. If I told you that you are Donald Trump, you’d probably punch me (and be justified…

Review: The Nonary Games (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 28, 2017

adventure game/adventure games/Game Theory/philosophy/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Spike Chunsoft/The Nonary Games/visual novel

Review by Matt S. It’s been a good couple of weeks for super-smart visual novels. On the one hand, you’ve got Danganronpa 1+2 Reload. It’s bright, it’s colourful. It has sexy anime girls and awesome anime guys, and even a cute mascot character. Sure that mascot is also a psychopathic…

Mass Effect: Andromeda’s biggest problem is colonialism, not animation

BioWare/DDNet Premium/Game Theory/Mass Effect Andromeda/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S.Note: This article will have some light spoilers, so please don’t read on if such things matter to you. I’m about 20 hours into Mass Effect: Andromeda now, and while that’s not far enough to form definitive opinions on the game (hence this is not a review),…

On Mass Effect: Andromeda, the mobile games we actually play outside, and collectibles! (Digitally Uploaded 2017, Episode #12)

March 28, 2017

collectible/Digitally Uploaded/digitallydownloaded.net/mass effect/Mass Effect Andromeda/Nintendo Switch/podcast

Mass Effect: Andromeda is a conflicting game, and our own feelings on the game are mixed; parts we love, and other parts we do not. As we start to play the game, we sit down to have an early impressions chat. We also talk about portable gaming, and specifically what…

Review: Siralim 2 (Sony PlayStation 4)

March 27, 2017

PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Retro/Reviews/Roguelike/RPG/Siralim/Siralim 2

Review by Matt S. If you’re going to make a sequel to a game, make sure it’s an actual sequel. I really loved the original Siralim. It tickled my nostalgic itch with its ridiculous menu system, super old-school character design, and commitment to roguelike difficulty. It was a game that…

DDNet Premium/open world game/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. Just as “RPG” was the hot trend through a couple of decades ago, and “FPS” was the big thing over the last decade or so, now it’s the “open world” genre’s turn to be the genre. Every major game developer at the moment seems to want…

Review: Mario Sports Superstars (Nintendo 3DS)

March 27, 2017

3DS Review/Mario Sports Superstars/minigame compilation/minigames/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/sports game

Review by Matt S. Nintendo really has lost the plot when it comes to its Mario Sports franchises, and that’s a real tragedy. Back on the Nintendo 64 and Gamecube, Mario and his buddies could do no wrong when it came to sports; be that tennis, golf, baseball or football.…
