Trailer: Final Fantasy Type-0: Enter the Fray, prepare for the blood

October 29, 2014

Final Fantasy Type-0/Final Fantasy Type-0 HD/News/Square Enix/trailer

News by Jedediah H. Because the Final Fantasy series is responsible for my induction into the world of playful gaming participation (I was mostly an observer, watching my brother play, before FF II for the SNES), I keep an eye on the birth and development of just about anything related…

Review: Screencheat (PC)

Australia/Indie/local multiplayer/Multiplayer/multiplayer only game/PC/Reviews/Screen Cheat

Review by Matt S. I want to get this out of the way immediately: I am very disappointed that so little was done between the beta of Screencheat and the final version. When game breaking bugs happen in a beta it’s easy to forgive them. It’s equally easy to ignore…

Review by Brad L. It is no secret that a lot of us love the Warriors series here at Digitally Downloaded. I’m sure many a reader here knows how Matt was first introduced to the series. You could easily say he is probably the biggest fan of the Warriors games…

Review: Race The Sun (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 29, 2014

endless runner/Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Race the Sun/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Beneath its gorgeous minimalist aesthetic, Race the Sun is a simple 3D runner game. It’s disappointing, because it actually could have been more than that. In the game players control an aircraft with no real vertical control. They can swerve left or right, but that’s it.…

Review by Nick H. There is not a lot of sizzle to be had when talking about portable memory, but there are a handful of key things to look for such as ease of use, reliability and speed. We had a chance to try out the 64GB Kingston HyperX FURY…

Australia’s arguably appealing packaging for the New Nintendo 3DS XL

October 28, 2014

3DS/Australia/News/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS XL

News by Jedediah H. For most of my clueless life, I’ve been swarmed by propaganda claiming that “bigger is better”: A bigger truck makes for bigger manpower (not horsepower), a bigger house makes for and reflects bigger social clout, and a bigger foot means, well, a bigger imprint on your…

Fluster Cluck/Multiplayer/multiplayer only game/PlayStation/PS4 Review/Reviews/split screen game

Review by Pierre-Yves L. I remember having a conversation with a few friends about the rise of MMOs and MOBAs about the idea that couch gaming was disappearing. I said it was sad that everything was moving more and more online (other than the obscure RPGs and JRPGs out there,…

Anime review: Kill La Kill Vol 01 (DVD)

October 28, 2014

action/anime/anime review/DVD/Kill la Kill

Review by Matt S. I know I’m late to the party with Kill La Kill, but I was aware of the controversial reputation that the series had before I put the disc into my DVD drive. It took me around five minutes to understand why. This is a series that…

Review: Prophour23 (PC)

October 28, 2014

Indie/PC/PC Review/Prophour23/Reviews/RTS/The Secret Pie/Tower defence

Review by Harvard L. Prophour23 may bill itself as a casual Real Time Strategy, but after playing it for a while I can honestly recommend it as one of the best mystery games I’ve played in a while. This is a game where discovery is the key to victory and…

Gadget Review: Kingston HyperX Skyn Mouse Pad

Gadget/Gadget Review/Gaming Pad/Hardware/Hardware Review/Kingston/Kingston HyperX Skyn Mouse Pad/mouse pad

Review by Nick H. I find myself continually surprised by slight tweaks and innovations from established hardware products. A few years ago I would have simply said that a mouse pad was a mouse pad and most only different in either colour or shape. However, Kingston, while known for its…
