Monster Hunter 4 has a ridiculously big following, especially in Japan where this title will release later this summer. Early screenshots look bright and colorful, though the true test of the visuals with any of the Nintendo 3DS games is how it looks in action. Here is hoping Capcom’s upcoming…

Is the Duke worth remembering before he went ‘3D’? The revamped second entry in the series makes a case. I actually remember Duke Nukem II when it was released by Apogee (there’s a blast from the past) back in 1993. I can’t say that I played it though, as I…

Construct 2 is a software package that is rapidly earning a reputation for being a wonderful entrant point for aspiring game developers. It’s still in its early stages, but by all accounts it is very easy to work with and the fact it uses HTML5 means that people can produce…

Well, 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…
