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…
Digitally Downloaded loves Tin Man Games. And I mean loves. Tin Man Games is responsible for game after game that we soak up eagerly and continuously until their next game arrives. They are featured in Matt’s upcoming book, Game Art. The small Indie developer from Australia is most known for…
Read MoreMuch like walking simulators do not appeal to everyone, visual novels have their detractors as well. That being said, do not let this title’s relatively low level of interaction deter you from experiencing what is one of the best narratives out there. I do not just mean in video games,…
Read MoreAs you could probably have gathered from my previous day’s trip to the Moomin cafe, the Japanese do like their themed restaurants and cafes. From maid and cat cafes to temporary set-ups (such as a Danganronpa-themed food court that I visited last year but is sadly gone), if you’re a…

Read MoreBRAWL is a title that generally gets things right. A couple of bugs and sketchy framerate now and again are easy enough to live with because the game itself is a lot of fun, especially with friends. The bigger issue is is that this is a game that benefits greatly…
Read MoreLike I was going to pass up an opportunity to grab a new vocaloid game while I was in Japan. Especially since it’s a game that we’re being told can never be localised into English. IA/VT Colorful might feature a vocaloid whose popularity by comparison to Hatsune Miku is like…
Read MoreWe love the Heroes of Might & Magic series at Digitally Downloaded. When the HD version of HOM&M 3 landed on our iPads earlier in the year we played obsessively for weeks. Now, the next true sequel is almost upon us in Might & Magic Heroes VII, and Ubisoft has…
