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…

Book Review/Books/Sci Fi/short story anthology/The Future is Japanese

Review by Harvard L. Most of the staff at Digitally Downloaded are huge fans of Japanese culture, and so if you’re anything like us, a collection of thirteen short stories inspired by the nation itself will be exciting stuff indeed. The Future Is Japanese is an anthology of modern science…

deep silver/Microsoft Xbox 360/open world game/Piranha Bytes/Reviews/Risen 3: Titan Lords/RPG/Xbox 360 Review

Review by Nick H. The Risen franchise has always been a series that aims to do great things, but its minimal budgets has traditionally come back to bite its ambition in the backside. That is still the case here, as the team behind Risen 3: Titan Lords has set out…

action/comedy/DVD/film/film review/Hentai Kamen/Hentai Kamen: Forbidden Superhero/movie/superhero film

Review by Matt S. “Give me your panties so I can save the school – no, the world!” This is an actual line of dialogue from Hentai Kamen: Forbidden Superhero. It’s spoken as the titular teenaged “hero” asks a schoolgirl that he has a crush on for her underwear; which…

3 Sprockets/Australia/Cubemen/Cubemen 2/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Nnooo/Reviews/RTS/Strategy/Tower defence

Review by Matt S. Cubemen 2 is one of the finest examples of the tower defence genre. Previously released on iOS and PC, it’s developed into something massive over the months and years courtesy of community-created levels, and now on the Wii U players access all that content in the…

Captain America/Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/PDP/PDP Marvel Newspaper Folio for iPad Air/Performance Designed Products/tablet case

Review by Nick H. Cases and covers for iPhones and iPads are common now. It’s easy to see why; they offer the dual purpose of stylising one of your favourite pieces of hardware while affording it additional protection. The results of course vary, but while the PDP Marvel Folio for the…

News by Jedediah H. Last week, we took a stealthy, crowbar-wielding glance at Ragtag Studio’s Ray’s the Dead, a zombie adventure where commanding different units of the undead to overcome adversaries and solve puzzles is the approach to survival, and its Kickstarter Stretch Goals.

Arcade/bullet hell/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/Wii U Review/XType Plus

Review by Matt S. A good bullet hell game is almost like an intricate, difficult and deadly dance. With thousands of projectiles on screen at once and giant, menacing enemies, the player relies on pixel-perfect twitch reactions and foresight to be able to dart in and out of tiny “safe…
