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…

A trio of popular mobile games I keep track of are all having limited time events right now. The oldest of the three games is Rage of Bahamut, and they have an event that just started this morning called The Sylvan Labyrinth. This is basically what has been called a…

Review: Gun Commando (Vita)

I have to hand it to Ripstone. Despite minimal support for the Vita by the broad market, Ripstone continue to publish high quality games from the platform. Games such as Knytt Underground and Big Sky Infinity have been full-blown PSN titles and played by many; they were PlayStation Plus freebies.…

Review: Corpse Party: Book of Shadows (Vita)

5PB/Corpse Party: Book of Shadows/Sony PlayStation Portable/Sony Vita/Team GrisGris/XSEED Games

The first Corpse Party for the PlayStation Portable was a bit of a surprise when it came out. Corpse Party attempted to do something very different, providing a fantastic atmosphere and engaging story complimented by good overall graphics and excellent sound design. Corpse Party: Book of Shadows is not a…

Review: Might & Magic: Duel of Champions (iPad)

The iPad has led a bit of a renaissance when it comes to collectible card games (CCGs). The large screen and the ability to display the beautiful art of the cards typically have in Retina-quality HD makes it a natural platform for the genre. Amazingly Magic The Gathering, which dominates…

After a couple of hours with NBA 2K13 I realised how little I know about basketball. Here in Australia it’s not exactly a sport that people watch on TV. With minimal experience in watching the sport, I haven’t been able to passively pick up the complex strategies and properly understand…

Nintendo has just hosted its most interesting Nintendo Direct online event in its history, and it’s as interesting for what was not said than what was. Company President, Satoru Iwata, essentially said on numerous occasions that “we’ve got nothing for the Wii U.” Nothing to release in January and February.…

Some interesting behind-the-scenes news regarding the development of ZombiU emerged recently. According to a story on VG24/7, co-operative play had initially been planned for the Wii U’s breakaway third party exclusive. In the story ZombiU producer, Guillaume Brunier, said “we did [consider co-op play], but we ruled it out quickly…

DnDClassics/Dungeons and Dragons

It’s no secret that we have quite a few fans of Dungeons & Dragons here at Digitally Downloaded. We also have a lot of people with iPads and the like, and it’s been somewhat frustrating to think that we have hundreds of Dungeons & Dragons books lying around, but it…

You can’t keep a good thing down. No doubt Tecmo Koei is making a killing from its DLC costume packs for Dead or Alive 5. Round eight of DLC has just hit, and there’s a distinctive theme to this one. For starters, there’s a free new stage to download. Zack’s…
