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…

You’ll be able to get a taste of the reimagining of Capcom’s Devil May Cry series today as the demo hits the PS3 and Xbox 360. The brand new take on devil hunting hero Dante and crew is actually live on, uh, Live… right now and will be posting to…

Old school dungeon crawl Eliminage Original released on PSP

November 20, 2012

dungeon crawl/Eliminage Original/PSP/Sony/UFO Interactive

Formerly a Japanese import, Eliminage Original harkens back to a time when RPG’s were hand drawn and turn based. Well this is a pretty heaping helping of nostalgia served up just in time for Thanksgiving… in the US anyway. I remember a game on the Turbografx specifically that ate up…

If you haven’t noticed, there’s been a new jam that’s been all the rage lately, PSY’s “Gangnam Style.” While the song is undoubtedly catchy, its music video has inspired people all around the world to get their bodies moving in a whole new way and countless parody videos, flash mobs…

Here we go. After running a trial with select developer partners, Sony has officially opened its PlayStation Mobile platform to, well, any developer who has $99. In a move that is blatantly taking the fight to Apple on its own battleground, Sony’s PlayStation Mobile platform is designed entirely to support…

Why a PS3 game reminded me the Wii U may just be a mega-success

November 20, 2012

Dead or Alive 5/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/NintendoLand/Opinion

I think it’s safe to say the Wii U’s launch in the US has been mired with controversy. From the massive day one update, to long load times, to the console’s big exclusive releases receiving mixed scores, Nintendo’s next generation of hardware has not had the happiest first 24 hours…

Primal Carnage is updated; now comes with music

November 20, 2012

FPS/music/PC/primal carnage/update

You may remember that recently Digitally Downloaded’s mystery man, V8Ninja, reviewed multiplayer shooter, Primal Carnage. That rather brilliant idea of giving people man-eating Dinosaurs to control in all-out war was, according to the review, a brilliant idea a little underdone in execution. One of the criticisms that Mr. Ninja had…

Digitally Downloaded recently scored the chance to talk to the guys bringing the multi-platform title Two Brothers to a range of platforms, from iOS to Wii U. Two Brothers has been inspired by retro 8-bit RPGs and the golden Game Boy era of gaming; games such as The Legend of…

Review: Need for Speed Most Wanted (PS3)

arcade racing/Criterion/EA/Microsoft Xbox 360/need for speed/Need for Speed Most Wanted/PlayStation/Racing/Reviews

It was so very tempting to simply state “this Need for Speed game kicks off with a music introduction by Muse,” and leave the entire review at that. After all, what better way to point out that the Gods of cool racing, Criterion, still have that sense of style and…

Retro City Rampage just got even better (than it already was)

November 19, 2012

Microsoft/News/Nintendo/patch/PC/PlayStation/PS Vita/PSN/update/WiiWare/XBLA

Even after an extensive development cycle spanning over a time period of ten years, there’s still no rest for Retro City Rampage creator and sole developer, Brian Provinciano. Even after the game’s release, he’s been listening to fans’ feedback and has implemented a number of improvements and adjustments to make the experience…

Two years ago, I started Digitally Downloaded for a very simple reason: I wanted to help improve the standard of games journalism in Australia, and indeed the world. It’s difficult to build up a website when there are already so many very high profile games sites out there, but thanks…
