February 19, 2016

You’ve probably seen Dee Dee around by now. She’s our mascot, and she’s wonderful. Journalist, model, all-round nice girl, Dee Dee’s a far more attractive face for Digitally Downloaded than any of us could ever be. And to show just how versatile she can be, let’s use this week’s Friday…

February 19, 2016

2D platformer/EA/platformer/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/puzzle platformer/Reviews/Yarny

Review by Matt S. Unravel is heartbreaking. But it’s not a depressing kind of emotion that lies at the core of this charming and pure little puzzle-platformer. Rather, as an introverted little reflection on life and human relationships, Unravel is heartbreaking because it represents a warmer, more sentimental side of…

Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth/Game Theory/JRPG/Marshall McLuhan/Opinion

Article by Matt S. Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is a fascinating game. It’s interesting in part because it’s fun, of course – it’s quite hard to ruin a monster collecting game when the critters are this cute. But it’s fascinating for so much more than being a really good Pokemon…

Review by Matt S. I really didn’t think that Climax Studios would manage to outdo its effort with Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India. The Chronicles series has always struck me as the most experimental Assassin’s Creed titles that we have seen to date, and on top of that, India was the…
