LAST CHANCE! Win one of FIVE RIG 800 PRO headsets & Stranger Of Paradise (+DLC)

Aussie readers of DDNet, have we got a treat for you! (Note: this competition is only open to Australian residents. Apologies, overseas friends, but I’m sure we’ll have another contest for you soon) Stranger Of Paradise is one of the finest, and smartest, games in Square Enix’s storied series.

psychological horror

Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

kickstarter/Ouya

Ouya, the little Kickstarter project that could, has today finished its fundraising effort, pulling in a whopping $8.5 million. Given that the designers were looking for $950,000, that’s a pretty big deal. So what happens next? It would seem likely that, in addition to setting that $8.5 million in motion…

doujin games/Nyu Media

We’ve rather enjoyed the first wave of Japanese doujin games from localisation outfit, Nyu Media. Good news, then, that the company has five more on the way. From hardcore 2D platformers to 3D RPG-lite action games there should be something in the next bunch to please everyone. They’re going to…

non gaming application/Steam/Valve

In what may be considered the most unexpected twist of the decade (we are not even two years in!), Valve has decided that Steam must consume every digital software market rather than just the digital gaming market. Yes, Valve has decided that Steam must also sell software. In a news…

Konami/PS3/Silent Hill HD Collection/Xbox 360

Silent Hill HD Collection players have been plagued with a terror of another sort for a while now- frame rate and audio problems. Now Konami has issued a patch for the PS3 version, Xbox players though… uh… So- first the good news! PS3 players, your game should work like a…

Sounds like a great PSN update

Payday: The Heist/PlayStation/PS Vita/PS3/psn update/Sound Shapes/the walking dead

Sound Shapes is the name on everybody’s lips, as the musical platformer hits the PSN this week. Not musically inclined? Could I interest you in some free zombies? Yes, another update and more zombies. I don’t think anybody will complain about these rotters though. Not only are we talking The Walking…

Hybrid/Left 4 Dead/mass effect 3/The Orange Box/XBLA/xbox live update

This week’s edition of the Xbox update features multiplayer shooter Hybrid and some nice add-on goodies including more zombies.

Sacred/Sacred 2/sidescroller/trailer

Sacred 2 is one of my favourite Diablo-clones ever. It was a massive game that you could easily spend hundreds of hours in. So Sacred Citadel immediately caught my attention. After watching the reveal trailer I must admit my emotions ran the full range. Initially I was a little disappointed…

Ten years of Dragon Quest X?

August 8, 2012

Dragon Quest X/Nintendo Wii/Square Enix

Square Enix had a couple of interesting announcements recently in regard to Dragon Quest X for the Wii. To say their approach to this Dragon Quest game has been controversial is a bit of an understatement, charting new territory for the series as an online game. Square Enix has said…
