3D platformer/Indie/LOOT Entertainment/Mimimi Productions/platformer/PlayStation 4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/The Last Tinker: City of Colors

Review by Jedediah H. One of my best friends who like me considers himself to be a hyperactive gaming aficionado avoids games he considers childish. “Kiddie crap,” he calls them. So when he joined and observed one of my late night streams of The Last Tinker: City of Colors, his…

News by Jedediah H. Appearing to be a serendipitous cross pollination among Dark Souls’ difficulty, A Link to the Past’s immortal character mobility and top-down aesthetic, and Shadow of the Colossus’ quest to impale gigantic beings to impress some comatose girl’s over-principled step-dad (I know that’s not the story, but just…

Review by Nick H. We have recently had a look at a couple of different Afterglow headsets, with the company’s primary gimmick being that the hardware is built with an internal glow. So, let’s take a look at another glowy peripheral! The PS3 Afterglow Wireless Controller has a glow that can…

Review by Nick H. I really, really enjoyed the recent Guardians of the Galaxy film, and pinball is a hit here at Digitally Downloaded. So, logically, this table should be an absolute hit with me, right? Things get off to a good start, but there are a few hiccups along…

Review by Nick H. Something about the Tesoro Durandal Ultimate G1NL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard clicked with me almost the moment I took it out of the box. It feels sturdy, looks sharp and keys immediately felt good and tactile. The form is definitely there, but the function is even more…

Review by Matt S. Way back when the PlayStation Vita first launched, one of the must-own games was Disgaea 3: Absense of Detention. It may have been little more than a remake and so didn’t really help the impression many had (and continue to have) that the Vita lacks “exclusive…

Ar Nosurge/Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star/JRPG/Koei Tecmo/PlayStation 3/Preview

Preview by Matt S. The PlayStation 3 just won’t die. Even as I’m meant to be playing my PlayStation 4 more and more developers continue to produce PlayStation 3 games that I just can’t ignore. I was able to play through the first hour or so of Ar Nosurge recently,…

Review by Matt S. We’ve seen plenty of single-player games borrow elements from MMOs in the past, especially in terms of the combat system. However, we haven’t seen that many single-player games try and be an actual solo MMO. Games such as Xenoblade Chronicles and White Knight Chronicles had combat…

Review by Matt S. I must be a sucker for punishment. Immediately after finishing with Bakemonogatari (at least to a level where I feel like I understand it enough to move on), I leap into another anime adaptation of Nisio Isin’s Monogatari series of light novels. Not that I actually…

Review by Owen S. Chess is a revered game-called-sport, with a place in culture is perhaps unmatched by any other pastime. Champions and ‘grandmasters’ are revered for their intellect. Names such as Bobby Fisher inspire images of greatness. It seeps through popular culture, from characters like Leonard and Sheldon on…
