From the beginning, the idea of a Borderlands game as a narrative-heavy affair from Telltale Games struck me as a potentially weird mix. So here’s the thing: it worked. It worked so well in fact, that now we have the last episode accounted for, I can say that this was…
Read MoreTales From The Borderlands: Episode 4: Escape Plan Bravo packs a great deal of humour into a single episode, but also manages several touching moments with characters while keeping the plot rolling. The best episode in what is shaping up to be the most balanced Telltale Games effort yet delivers…
Read MoreThere has been a lot to like about the Telltale games, especially for someone like myself that tends to prefer narrative-heavy titles. That the team often uses source material that I am fond of and familiar with only makes me even more their target demographic. That being said, the nature…
Read MoreI am without a doubt one of the biggest fans of Telltale Games here at Digitally Downloaded. Its short slices of narrative gaming resonate with me, and I have had the pleasure of playing everything it has released so far. Tales from the Borderlands: Episode 2 – Atlus Mugged is…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. Sacred 3 was a game that everyone at DDNet was really looking forward to, thanks to the quality of the previous game, and given how long it has been since we had a new Sacred game (no, the beat-em-up, Sacred Citadel, doesn’t count). Certainly Sacred 2…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Risen franchise has always been a series that aims to do great things, but its minimal budgets has traditionally come back to bite its ambition in the backside. That is still the case here, as the team behind Risen 3: Titan Lords has set out…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. I thought Season 2 of Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead started with something of a whimper, with characters that did not interest me much and a scenario that held promise, but failed to deliver. On the whole, this season has been an up and down experience,…
