Competition

LAST CHANCE! Win one of FIVE RIG 800 PRO headsets & Stranger Of Paradise (+DLC)

Aussie readers of DDNet, have we got a treat for you! (Note: this competition is only open to Australian residents. 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…

I’m not sure there’s ever a precisely right time to release a…

Review: Gran Turismo 7 (Sony PlayStation 5)

I really wish I loved anything as much as Yamauchi Kazunori loves…

The Sunday Screenshot Gallery: The “grabbed from Matt’s PlayStation Vita” edition

August 29, 2015

PlayStation Vita/Screenshot/screenshots/Sony PlayStation Vita/The Sunday screenshot gallery

Sharing screenshots is fun. In fact, the screenshot feature is in many ways the best feature that has been added in to this generation of consoles. It’s fun to share gameplay experiences, amusing anecdotes from the games, a indulge a little of the inner photographer in us. This week we…

The games of September: Dear God…

game list/list/The games of September

Well, we hope that you’ve invented a way to stop time, or at least double the length of each day, because otherwise your backlog is going to get far bigger. Far, far bigger. September’s lineup of games is nothing short of brutal and we don’t think it’s humanly possible to…

DDNet does Japan! Day #7: Loot from Japan!

August 28, 2015

figureines/Hatsune Miku/Japan/Miniatures/Tour Japan/tourism/travel

Japan is a bit of a consumer’s paradise, selling a whole load of stuff that is difficult to find elsewhere (if not completely impossible in Australia). So naturally each time I’m in Japan I go shopping. The last couple of trips I’ve found myself largely investing in figurines to bring…

I am an avid fan of survival horror video games, and many of my colleagues here at Digitally Downloaded also enjoy the kinds of (gaming) experiences that will give them nightmares. So when an announcement surfaced that The Coma has been greenlit on Steam, we just had to share the…

Review: Dungeon Travelers 2 (Sony PlayStation Vita)

August 28, 2015

adult game/Atlus/dungeon crawl/Dungeon Travelers 2/eroge/fan service/JRPG/NISA/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Vita Review

I like a game that backs itself like Dungeon Travelers 2 does. It’s a game purely for the most otaku of otaku, rooted in eroge tradition, and it doesn’t even pretend its not. There’s no apology and no attempt to conceal what the game is with some softer, more “mainstream”…

The Art of Fallout 4 book coming this December

Without a doubt, Digitally Downloaded is all about game art. After all, our publisher/editor-in-chief Matt is releasing his own book on the subject. It seems as though Bethesda wants in the action too, as they are releasing The Art of Fallout 4. The 184-page book is being published by Dark…

Review: Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power (PC)

August 27, 2015

Frozenbyte/Indie/PC/puzzle platformer/review/Reviews/Trine 3:The Artifacts of Power

The third entry in the Trine series shows an evolution of sorts by taking chances seldom found in established franchises. The team at Frozenbyte deserves credit for staying true to the heart of what has made this series work over the last several years, while making sure to innovate enough…

DDNet does Japan! Day #6: The Akihabara Issue

August 27, 2015

Akihabara/Japan/Otaku/Tour Japan/tourism/travel

Okay, okay, it’s time to get Akihabara out of the way. I doubt this will be the only time I visit this year, because I do enjoy my time there too much, but given I was already there for the Final Fantasy XIV restaurant, I figured I would use the…

With my book, Game Art, being about a month away from release now, I’ve been out and about talking to the media about it. The kind people at Vice did an interview with me about the book, and asked some pretty awesome questions, which I had a chance to rant…

On building a 2D XCOM: An interview with Image & Form’s CEO

August 27, 2015

Brjann Sigurgeirsson/Image and Form/Interview/Interviews/SteamWorld/SteamWorld Dig/Steamworld Heist

Image & Form are one of our favourite indie developers at Digitally Downloaded. Its breakout title, SteamWorld Dig, wasn’t its first game, but it was one to find success across multiple platforms and remains a very good example of how a simple idea, when executed well and with a balanced…
