Sony’s announcement of a new PlayStation 3 model was the ‘shiny light’ of its Tokyo Game Show performance this year, but the real announcement worth keeping an eye on was the confirmation of its PlayStation Plus plans. Specifically, the confirmation that the full PlayStation Plus program – free games and…
Read MoreIt’s funny how it works. Just the other day I made a post about how the Vita has a range of great little applications and games that made the console great value, even without buying a game. And the day I make that post later Sony releases Ecolibrium, which is…
Read MoreA new, free little application has just been released on the PlayStation Vita that has reminded me of a fact that is a little surprising in hindsight; for a console that is so maligned at the moment with accusations of a lack of support and quality content, the Vita is…
Read MoreAnyone who’s been following us a while knows that we at Digitally Downloaded are big fans of Zen Pinball. Both Zen Pinball 3D, and the Marvel Pinball “sequel” are some of our favourite games on the Nintendo 3DS. And they pale, absolutely, objectively pale in comparison to Zen Pinball 2…

Read MoreThe new battleground between the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita is the pinball game. In one corner is the 3DS with the rather brilliant Zen Pinball and Marvel Pinball. In the other is The Pinball Arcade on the Vita. Zen Pinball is going to win this bout, but while Pinball…
Read MoreWe don’t usually review free games at Digitally Downloaded – after all, what’s the point when you can simply try the game for yourself, but I felt compelled to review Montezuma Blitz on the Vita, simply to point out its existence if nothing else. See, Montezuma Blitz is a lot…
