Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/keyboard/SteelSeries

Review by Matt S. Grammarly, that Web application that keeps an eye on your typing for you, tells me that I write around 120,000 words per week. Given that I work seven days per week, that works out at around 17,150 words per day. Yes, that is a lot, and…

action game/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Ultra Age

Review by Trent P. In the infancy of the Internet, many were fixated on quotes and philosophies from lead developers. One great example of this is the legendary Shigeru Miyamoto himself. Miyamoto has always been the face of Nintendo and responsible for so many of its characters, has been perhaps…

EPOS/Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Headset/Speakers

Review by Matt S. EPOS sure do like to keep me busy. Not a few weeks after the excellent and versatile H3 Hybrid, the company has now released the H6PRO – a wired headset priced at $Aus259. At that price I would imagine that some have an issue with the…

Poll by Matt S. We often assume that it’s the AAA-blockbusters that get people most excited. That might well be true overall, but as this week’s poll shows, within the niche audiences that follow us on DigitallyDownloaded.net, the truly exciting games come from elsewhere.

Video by Matt S. I never thought this sequel would happen, given how niche the first was, but what do you know! Nippon Ichi and FuRyu decided to give it another whirl. I love this game. I love it so much. It’s one of my highlights of the year. I’ve…
