Grand Theft Auto V/open world game/PS4 Review/Reviews/Rockstar Games/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Nick H. Grand Theft Auto V is a title that, like The Last of Us Remastered, was ahead of its time. And because of this they are much more at home on the PlayStation 4, despite not having been initially designed with the current generation of consoles in…

Gadget Review: iHome iB14 FIT Earbuds

November 20, 2014

Earbuds/Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/iHome iB14 FIT Earbuds

Review by Nick H. Gaming-on-the-go. It goes hand-in-hand with audio-on-the-go as well. The iHome iB14 FIT Earbuds are not necessarily meant for gaming, but they can certainly be used in that capacity. They are more interested in hanging on during active travel or exercise, being very portable and sounding good.…

Review: Dragon Age: Inquisition (Sony PlayStation 4)

Review by Matt S. I love genuine RPGs, of the kind developed by a studio with a passion for recreating the classic pen-and-paper Dungeons & Dragons experience. These kinds of projects are sadly rare now, as the industry has gradually moved towards more linear narrative storytelling and action-based gameplay, but…

News by Clark A. I’ll readily admit I’ve never actually watched this show, but it’s a prime contender for the “Most Captivating Anime Name” award I just conjured up three seconds ago. The snappily titled Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl was originally released by NIS America early last year. This…

anime/anime review/fan service/harem/Mayo Chiki!/school romance

Review by Matt S. Cross dressing is literally one of the oldest tricks in a the book for people looking to bring the laughs. After all, Shakespeare himself used cross dressing to brilliant effect in Twelfth Night. And, just as importantly, as evidenced by the fact Shakespeare did it, when…

News by Clark A. Pair up a game that has cultural or historical value with a developer suited to the task like Tecmo Koei and you’ve got a killer combination in the eyes of many at Digitally Downloaded. Based on that criteria, the last console generation’s criminally overlooked Bladestorm: The…

Review: Tales of Hearts R (Sony PlayStation Vita)

November 20, 2014

7thChord/Bandai Namco Games/JRPG/PS Vita/Reviews/Sony PlayStation Vita/Tales of Hearts R/Vita Review

Review by Nick H. Tales of Hearts R is a classic JRPG in every sense of the word. From its endearing if overly familiar characters, through to a story arc that is less than fresh, random battles and a somewhat mash-happy combat system that could have used greater strategic nuance.…

Review by Nick H. Most of the iHome products do a great job of delivering solid sound with a variety of options, ranging from portable speakers to headsets. One of the recent clocks I got to try, the iB180 alarm clock, had some cool features but underperformed in the sound…
