Here we go. After running a trial with select developer partners, Sony has officially opened its PlayStation Mobile platform to, well, any developer who has $99. In a move that is blatantly taking the fight to Apple on its own battleground, Sony’s PlayStation Mobile platform is designed entirely to support…

Why a PS3 game reminded me the Wii U may just be a mega-success

November 20, 2012

Dead or Alive 5/Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/NintendoLand/Opinion

I think it’s safe to say the Wii U’s launch in the US has been mired with controversy. From the massive day one update, to long load times, to the console’s big exclusive releases receiving mixed scores, Nintendo’s next generation of hardware has not had the happiest first 24 hours…

Primal Carnage is updated; now comes with music

FPS/music/PC/primal carnage/update

You may remember that recently Digitally Downloaded’s mystery man, V8Ninja, reviewed multiplayer shooter, Primal Carnage. That rather brilliant idea of giving people man-eating Dinosaurs to control in all-out war was, according to the review, a brilliant idea a little underdone in execution. One of the criticisms that Mr. Ninja had…

Digitally Downloaded recently scored the chance to talk to the guys bringing the multi-platform title Two Brothers to a range of platforms, from iOS to Wii U. Two Brothers has been inspired by retro 8-bit RPGs and the golden Game Boy era of gaming; games such as The Legend of…

It was so very tempting to simply state “this Need for Speed game kicks off with a music introduction by Muse,” and leave the entire review at that. After all, what better way to point out that the Gods of cool racing, Criterion, still have that sense of style and…

Retro City Rampage just got even better (than it already was)

Even after an extensive development cycle spanning over a time period of ten years, there’s still no rest for Retro City Rampage creator and sole developer, Brian Provinciano. Even after the game’s release, he’s been listening to fans’ feedback and has implemented a number of improvements and adjustments to make the experience…

Two years ago, I started Digitally Downloaded for a very simple reason: I wanted to help improve the standard of games journalism in Australia, and indeed the world. It’s difficult to build up a website when there are already so many very high profile games sites out there, but thanks…

Review: Paper Mario Sticker Star (3DS)

November 19, 2012

3DS/eShop/Nintendo/Paper Mario Sticker Star/Reviews

The games industry is somewhat notorious for chastising the lack of innovation in established franchises. Nintendo’s iconic Mario is no newcomer to such criticism; his recent outing in New Super Mario Bros. 2 met with much groaning from hardcore fans desiring a change of formula and a noticeable dip in…

The last episode of the inaugural season of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead game is upon us. What better way to celebrate than to take a walk down memory lane with Marty McFly A.J. Locascio and Gary Whitta. Warning (they’re gonna warn you on the video, but I figured I’d…

The Old Republic now free to play, gets 1.5 update

November 18, 2012

BioWare/EA/Lucas/PC/star wars/star wars the old republic

EA and Bioware’s Star Wars MMO The Old Republic now officially has a free to play option- and one deadly assassin droid. It’s kind of surprising (for me anyway), but the F2P option is a pretty complete play experience. I was expecting something that was extremely limiting, which definitely isn’t…
