Konami has released a new developer diary to give players insight into the upcoming Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. This is a game that we have been keeping our eyes on, because we rather liked the first and playing as Dracula is always good value. Developer diaries often provide tantalising…

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…

Review by Andrew M. Recently I succumbed to the advertising on several of the Podcasts I listen to and started playing Lumosity. It’s a good app, a little restricted for people who don’t want to buy a yearly subscription, but overall pretty good. Basically the idea is brain training by…

Opinion by Matt S. I think we all knew that a new Mass Effect game was going to happen at some point, but it’s been formally confirmed now. The problem is, as much as the BioWare fan in me is looking forward to a new Mass Effect game, the realist…
