Review by Matt S. Back on the Game Boy Color, when Camelot was at its absolute finest, it released a little tennis game that showed up most console versions of the sport that have come before and since. Mario Tennis looks humble in screenshots, but this is a game that…

Video by Matt S. We are massive fans of Warriors games at Digitally Downloaded. Or, more accurately, I am. I don’t know about the rest of the team. Anyway, I digress. When Nintendo announced that it was working with Tecmo Koei to produce a Warriors game set in the Legend…

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy/Censorship

Opinion by Matt S. Bravely Default is one of the finest games on the 3DS. Released in Europe and Australia in time for Christmas, we scored it a full 5-stars for being a beautiful mix of both nostalgia, and new approaches to game design. I hadn’t played the Japanese version…

Review by Matt S. The Braven 850 (and its ruggard counterpart the 855s) are bricks. They are weighty, unassuming little boxes that also happen to house some truly incredible noise making speakers. These things are designed to be taken out and about to picnics, the beach and BBQs, but I…

Impressions by Mike B. Darkout is a game that partially comes from the crowdfunding scene.
