Preview by Mike B. Frozen Synapse is a title that is heavily regarded among the Digitally Downloaded staff. It’s such a simple concept, but executed to a level of precision that we rarely see at any level. The player plans the movements and actions of a small unit of troops…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Are you a fan of old school RPGs that involve a load of grinding and not much else? Rainbow Moon is the game for you. I loved it back when it released on the PlayStation 3, and I love it that little bit more on the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The only criticism I could possibly come up with with the original Ace Patrol game was that its free-to-play structure was a little expensive and didn’t really gel with the serious strategy game structure. So the fact that Pacific Skies is content to charge a small…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The idea behind Arma Tactics appeals to me on many levels. Having played and enjoyed the Arma shooting titles, I liked the idea of a tactical game based on the series. Described as a turn-based combat strategy game, Arma Tactics drops you into a scenario without…

Read MoreWatching what Edward D. Wood thought would be his magnum opus, Plan 9 From Outer Space, it’s easy to see how much care went into such a flawed product. Wood was a truly horrible director, but the ideas found within his work were remarkably progressive; he’s a man that cared…
Read MoreWhat do you get when you mix in a little bit of everything to a tactics strategy game? In the case of Project X Zone, what you get is moments of humorous dialogue sprinkled into a ridiculously thrown together story. And that makes for a fun game that is definitely…
Read MoreI am really disappointed with XCOM. Not because of the game itself, but the fact that, within a day of it being released on the Apple App store for $20.99 the Internet has filled with comments from people saying words to the effect of “it’s too expensive” and “I’ll wait…
