Review: Ys: Memories of Celceta (Vita)

December 6, 2013

action RPG/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Sony/vita/XSEED/Ys/Ys: Memories of Celeta

Review by Clark A. A surprising number of franchises have been able to achieve the 25th anniversary milestone considering the relative youth of the games industry. However, much fewer IPs have histories as rich and remarkable as Ys. Nihon Falcom hasn’t been shy about making complete visual and mechanical overhauls,…

Apple/Dragon Age/EA/Free-to-play/freemium/Heroes of Dragon Age/iOS/mobile games/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. As a big fan of Dragon Age (yep, I even enjoyed the second one), I didn’t really have a choice; when I saw that EA had released Heroes of Dragon Age on to the iOS App Store, I immediately downloaded it. After playing for an hour…

Apple/iOS/Michael Pachter/Nintendo/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. Michael Pachter has riled up the most dedicated Nintendo fan base once again. The cause for contention was this time over some rather frank and biting comments from Pachter that were reported on gamesindustry.biz, along with the idea that Nintendo should be releasing games on iOS…

Review by Matt S. If I was to say to you “hey, I’m going to skip this awesome party that you’ve invited me to to go and play Farming Simulator,” and you hadn’t played a Farming Simulator game before, you would possibly think I’ve gone insane. Or I was just…

24 games of Christmas/Zen Pinball 2

The tree is up, the lights are on, the stockings are over the fireplace and everyone’s getting into the eggnog. It’s Christmas and it’s the best time of year. Nothing beats Christmas; it’s the time for fun and play, for family and friends. It’s the chance to get away from…

Frozen Endzone/Frozen Synapse/Mode 7/PC/Preview/Sports/Strategy/tactics game

Preview by Mike B. Frozen Synapse is a title that is heavily regarded among the Digitally Downloaded staff. It’s such a simple concept, but executed to a level of precision that we rarely see at any level. The player plans the movements and actions of a small unit of troops…

2K Games/Basketball/NBA 2K14/PlayStation 3/PS4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Sports

Review by Nick H. Without a doubt in my mind, NBA 2K14 is the best sports game I have played this year. Of course, everyone’s mileage with sports titles generally boils down to what they think of the sport in question, and while 2K has a great engine in place…

Game difficulty; or how I learned to stop worrying and love my hero’s horrible deaths

Opinion by Shaan J. I love dying in games. It’s tough to nail down the exact reason though. I didn’t grow up spending much time on the 8 and 16-bit consoles, so the term “NES-hard” never really resonated with me. Those games that I did play were games where death…
