Review by Matt S. Ahhhhhhhhhh yes, Attack on Titan. For the briefest period of time it was Japan’s biggest anime and manga property, and while its flame burned quickly (compared to the likes of One Piece and Dragonball, which manage to still pull a huge following 20,000 episodes in), the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. If Destiny and Phantasy Star were to have a baby, we’d be questioning Phantasy Star’s taste in partners… but more particularly, we’d be looking at something like Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet. Based on the popular anime that is one giant meta-discussion about anime MMO worlds,…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. “You come at the king, you best not miss.” Aside from being an iconic quote from one of the best characters seen on television to date, that’s evergreen life advice. It’s especially useful for anyone in a creative industry. We all have our influences and every…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Shoot ‘em ups are timeless. This genres is almost as old as the video game medium itself, but it remains popular to this day – from Spacewar! to Asteroids to R-Type to Resogun, there’s endless excitement to be found in the simple premise of a nimble…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. Out of all the sporting codes out there, there’s one – and only one, as far as I can tell – that feels like it can produce its own video games. The R.B.I. series of baseball games is developed and produced by the MLB itself. Take…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. For all it’s worth, Chime Sharp looks like a zen-inspired puzzle game. The player is tasked with tessellating shapes together to form larger quadrilaterals, all to the tune of pulsing electronica. Don’t be fooled by its colourful, minimalistic exterior however, because this is a game sure…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The premise of taking the addictive qualities that make online competitive shooters so popular and doing something unique with the medieval setting that replaces guns with swords and axes is a good one. A really good one. And there are a lot of really great ideas…
Read MoreReview by Matt C “Joe’s Diner is scary.” That’s a message I sent to DigitallyDownloaded.net’s editor-in-chief not long after starting up the game.
