Review by Brad L. The one thing I love about being a part of DigitallyDownloaded.net is the fact that there are times when I have the opportunity to review a game I have no prior knowledge about. Of course it is always exciting to review the latest AAA title, but…

Photo gallery by Lindsay M. It has been a couple of weeks since Miitomo hit the scene, and my early and completely biased opinion is that it is awesome. Of course, the mobile app isn’t without its issues: my biggest annoyance to date is that you can only add friends…
