Blizzard! Those silly peeps (Digitally Uploaded 2019, Episode #35)

November 5, 2019

Activision Blizzard/Baldur's Gate/Blizzard/Death Stranding/Digitally Uploaded/digitallydownloaded.net/podbean/podcast

First of all, a correction – we mention that we have used a MEIKO song in the podcast, but in editing we dropped the wrong one in – what you’ll hear for the customary voicaloid track is actually Kagamine Rin. Sorry about any confusion there! What’s not confusing is the…

Want more brilliant Spirit Hunter horror? You’re going to need to crowdfund it

crowdfunding/Death Mark/Experience Inc/Horror/kickstarter/News/Spirit Hunter: NG/visual novel

News by Matt S. Experience Inc’s horror visual novel series, which started with Death Mark before moving on to NG, has become my favourite horror this side of Project Zero. They’re not necessarily commercial works however, which is why Experience is now relying on crowdfinding for the third in the…

Review: Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition Pack (Sony PlayStation 4)

Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate 2/Beamdog/BioWare/Dungeons & Dragons/PlayStation 4/Retro/Reviews/RPG/western RPG

Review by Matt S. Two of the greatest western RPGs of all time, released on console for the first time, is not something that should be overlooked. Certainly some people will look at the “dated” presentation of these titles and turn away, but doing that would be missing the point…

Video by Matt S. I do love Zen Studios’ Pinball FX3. It’s been a bit of a busy couple of months, so I’ve had to put my pinballing on the backburner, but being the big fan of bad B-tier horror and science fiction that I am, I couldn’t resist checking…

News by Matt S. I did promise news on the next step for the visual novel series very soon after the last one came out, did I not (you can grab that here if you’re keen)? I’m pushing some real VN Liiiiiive Services here for my wonderful subscribers with the…

Art Game/Death Stranding/Hideo Kojima/PlayStation 4/Sony PlayStation 4/Video/Video review

Video by Matt S. Death Stranding is Sony’s big game for this critical end-of-year season. It’s also the biggest risk that Sony has taken in quite some time; a real creative vision and work of art from Hideo Kojima, formerly of Konami and Metal Gear Solid fame. Just how polarising…

Review by Matt S. I’m going to start this review with a personal comment: I don’t think there has ever been a game that is more difficult to review than Hideo Kojima’s ego sandbox… I mean Death Stranding. It’s a game where almost its entire worth is wrapped up within…

Review: Dusk Diver (Nintendo Switch)

Review by Matt S. Dusk Diver was released in the wrong part of the year. Given some space away from the half dozen other, excellent, JRPGs and other big releases that have come over the last month, Dusk Diver would have grabbed some attention for its cool aesthetic and lighthearted…

Harvard Let’s Plays Kingsway!

October 31, 2019

Indie/Kingsway/let's play/RPG/Video/Video review

Video by Harvard L. Kingsway is an odd little game, but a very creative one indeed. It’s an RPG in which you play through an operating system. Enemies are pop-ups, quests are emails. Honestly, an operating system has never been more interesting or fun. Harvard continues his series of let’s…
