For many of us at Digitally Downloaded, Mario Golf on the Nintendo 64 was one of the finest games created for that very fine console. It’s available on the Virtual Console right now if you’ve got a Wii or Wii U, and we consider it one of the most essential…
Read MorePerhaps as something of an apology to the veteran Ultima fans for Ultima Forever being a free-to-play game and annoying many fans of the classic series in the process, EA has released Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar on the iPad for free. Don’t worry, this one doesn’t come with…
Read MoreWith Madden 25 releasing… well, basically right now, I thought it would be a good opportunity to look back at the series and highlight some of my favourite ‘Madden Moments’ from over the years. I have not played every single release, but I have played most of them spanning from…

Read MoreIt’s Snake. – Matt SFind me on Twitter: @Digitallydownld(Yes this is a joke review but seriously what else can you say about Snake? It’s the most painfully addictive game ever and this version works fine).…
