April 10, 2015

Costumes/Hatsune Miku/The Friday 10/Top 10

I’m going to be a bit lazy this week and make a list of pictures for the Friday Ten (sorry, it’s been a very long week). That said, after last week’s favourite Miku music tracks from Project Diva, I thought it would be fun to do a list of my…

Interview/Interviews/Nyu Media/Seon King/TyranoBuilder/visual novel

Earlier this week we reviewed TyranoBuilder, a great bit of software brought to us by Nyu Media that allows people to create their own visual novels. That being said, it is a reasonably limited piece of software in some areas at the moment, such as the lack of existing art…

LEGO Dimensions is going to be brutal on the wallet

April 10, 2015

amiibo/collectible/Disney Infinity/Lego/LEGO Dimensions/News/Skylanders/toys/trailer/Trailers/Warner Bros

It was bad enough when Disney did it. It was even worse when Nintendo did it, by doing it at such low quantities that there were worldwide scarcity on launch day. What am I talking about? Turning physical toys into physical DLC packs for video games. The Disney Infinity miniatures…

Australia/Australian Government/Opinion

It’s coming up to the date where the conservative Australian Government will announce its second budget after winning office in 2013.

One of our favorite free-to-play games here at Digitally Downloaded is Chain Chronicle. As an addictive mix of JRPG and line defence, it has nearly endless replay value thanks to its weekly events, and the challenge of levelling up the massive cast of characters, and while the combat is simple,…

platformer/PS4 Review/Retro/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Woah Dave!

I honestly believe that games are headed to a period of amazing creative development. Completely liberated of technical limitations, and having access to tools like Unity, game developers are creating stories that are deeper and more personal.

DeNA/Final Fantasy/Final Fantasy: Record Keeper/Free-to-play/iOS/iPad Review/JRPG/Reviews

I laughed when I started playing this game. A few weeks ago Nintendo announced a partnership with DeNA to produce Nintendo mobile games, and people worried about the risk of a decline in the quality of the Nintendo IP and its games. Then Square Enix and DeNA’s Final Fantasy: Record…

Review: Boxboy! (Nintendo 3DS)

3DS eShop/3DS Reviews/Boxboy!/HAL/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Puzzle Game/Reviews

Every so often Nintendo publishes an utterly oddball little downloadable title. They typically come out of nowhere, and almost always impress me more than the company’s big releases. Such is the case of Boxboy!. One of the most attractive, charming, entertaining games to land as an eShop exclusive in some…

Released within a week of one another, I am so very interested to see how Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin compares with Bloodborne over the long term. Which game will end up dominating the consumer mindset on the new generation of hardware? Which game is considered to…
