Warner Bros. clearly had this game in mind when it acquired Ed Boon’s team at NetherRealm Studios. It must have been a moment of celebration at the publisher’s headquarters when a premier fighting game developer went on the open market; here was after all an opportunity to bring in-house the…
Read MoreTin Man Games specialises in one kind of game – the gamebook. Specifically, the developer focuses on bringing the gamebook style of play to the iPad and iPhone. This means Tin Man Games games require a lot of reading, and offer very little flashy graphics and gimmicks. Still they manage…
Read MoreEarly on in the 3DS’ eShop download platform there was a cheap and cheerful little downloadable game called Bird Mania. It was an endless runner (or flyer in this instance), and it was not anything more than that, but stylish presentation and a lack of other games on the platform…
Read MoreThe first thing you’ll notice about Soccer Up 3D is that its content is disappointingly limited. While it is a downloadable sports game on a handheld, the goal (no pun intended), of delivering a game with an attractive offering means it should feature some substance that will leave the player…

Read MoreWell, this is embarrassing. It’s time to write my first hardware review for DigitallyDownloaded, but I seem to have lost the gadget in question. I’ve checked my laptop bag, my briefcase and my rucksack. I’ve scoured my man-shelf. I’ve even – radically, I thought – checked that I haven’t put…
Read MoreSignal Ops is one of the many titles that proposes a fantastic concept, yet executes it in the most appalling way. On paper, a game that is part real time strategy and part first person shooter sounds unique and potentially enjoyable, but here in execution it’s an absolute mess. When…
Read MoreAlthough the video game is a relatively a young medium, it already has evolved in numerous ways. The technology behind video games has gone from not even managing 256 available colours, pixels, and sounds to providing over four billion available colours, over eight hundred thousand pixels for display, and an…
