Some news from late last week you might have missed: Nippon Ichi America has announced a formal release date for Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. It lands in America on October 6 and Europe/ Australia three days later. It’s a PlayStation 4 exclusive, and should more than scratch the itch…
Read MoreI love games that use satire to make some social commentary. No Pineapple Left Behind is certainly shaping up to be one of those games. It has been developed by Seth Alter, a former educator turned developer, and while the game is nominally a simulation/ strategy game in which you…
Read MoreSega took a demo of a hypothetical Hatsune Miku game with it to E3, to show off the capabilities of Sony’s Project Morpheus. Because it was Hatsune Miku the bulk of the critics ignored it, but of those that tried it, the reports that came back were positive indeed. I’ve…
Read MoreJ-stars Victory Vs+ is a game that we didn’t really think would make its way out west, because it involves characters from a lot of different anime and manga licenses, and in the west this means that a lot of different rights holders needed to sign off on it. And…

Read MoreSometimes Nintendo absolutely baffles me. Its treatment of Fatal Frame is one example. It part owns the franchise, and has proceeded to decide that westerners are just not interested in it. Despite the fact that yes, we actually do like horror games out this way. Even cerebral ones like Fatal…
Read MoreWe do love our Fire Emblem games at Digitally Downloaded, and one of the genuine bright sparks among the relatively quiet show from Nintendo was the new trailers for the Fire Emblem titles on both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. On the 3DS we got to see some of the…
Read MoreI think we should rename this E3 “that event where all our gaming dreams came true.” I mean, we’re quite literally talking about an event in which a new Shenmue, Final Fantasy VII Remake and The Last Guardian were announced, and these are all games no one thought would happen.…
