Review by Clark A. Chess has never been a spectacle of a sport in the same way as other great games are but that hasn’t impeded its capacity to deliver high-stakes, strategic action over a period lengthier than a millennium. So given that Digitally Downloaded’s editor-in-chief has practically gushed over…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We’ve reviewed Pure Chess in the past. It’s been across just about every game platform I own now, in fact, and the standard has been astronomical across the board (hah, there’s a pun for you in the opening paragraph). The Wii U version is the latest…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Among many other things, Leonardo Da Vinci’s drawings and sketches include designs for machines that would enhance the power of the military. Advance guns, cannons and even machines that look like tanks appear in his portfolio. Magnifico is a popular board game that takes Da Vinci’s…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I’m not surprised that VooFoo Studios decided to make a Backgammon game. After the massive success of its Pure Chess and Hustle Kings parlour games, Backgammon is a natural extension of the capabilities that the team has built up.

Read MoreIt has been a while since we’ve had an authentic Warhammer experience. THQ mishandled the license with extreme prejudice, even going so far to publish a game that was a generic action clone with that awful Space Marine game that I’ve tried to purge from my memory. So as far…
Read MoreI love having Agricola on the iPad. If you’ve ever played the board game (especially with expansions) then you’ll relate to this; the physical game has so many pieces that it can feel like it takes longer to set up than actually play. It is of course worth that set…
Read MoreWhat a brilliant game Crimson Shroud is. Yasumi Matsuno (of Vagrant Story and Final Fantasy XII fame) has done what his compatriots, Yoot Saito (Aero Porter) and Goichi Suda (Liberation Maiden) were not able to in the Guild01 compilation – build a small game that is not only innovative and…
Read More“Cute but psycho; things even out” is about the most apt saying that can be applied to the wonderful, and darkly humorous Rabbids franchise. Whether you are a fan of the TV show Happy Tree Friends and Friends, the card game Killer Bunnies, the daily comics of Richard Larson or…
