Review by Matt S. Samurai Defender is the kind of aggressively pointless experience that I find frustrating beyond all else. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s also not memorable in the slightest, and while I don’t expect every video game ever made to be a masterpiece, I do think…
Read MoreNews by Harvard L. A day before E3 I saw a tweet jokingly asking that the only thing they want to see at this year’s convention was genuine human emotion. Thanks to Cornelia Geppert and Jo-Mei Games, the team behind Sea of Solitude, we not only got that, we got…
Read MoreNews by Harvard L. We’ve seen our fair share of wastelands this E3, from urban, to nuclear, to zombified, but none could be described as beautiful until now. There are few games on show this year which are truly eye-catching, and then along comes Sable which expresses the simple joy…
Read MoreVideo by Matt S. Okay, so we now have the first details of Dead of Alive 6, and one of the very first things the game producer said about it is that Koei Tecmo has taken big steps to tone down the sex. Meanwhile, they’ve massively upped the violence, what…

Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. It’s that time of year again, the time when we at DDnet cover E3 while silently wishing it were time for TGS. That being said, EA often offers some stellar indie titles and it is promising two announcements in this event alone. Related reading: Catch up…
