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.

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…

Criticism/Galactic Cafe/PC/The Stanley Parable HD Remix/The Stanley Parable: Mobile Edition

It can sometime be hard for creators to respond to fan criticism. If the creator decides to ignore complaints then they risk losing an audience while also potentially enhancing their work, but if a creator decides to accept complaints and take action upon them they will undoubtedly cause a small…

Review: Q.U.B.E. (PC)

July 28, 2012

PC/Q.U.B.E./Toxic Games

Q.U.B.E. frustrates me. Not because the game is bad; the game is actually a very well-constructed puzzle-platformer with a few irritating challenges, but besides that there is nothing quite wrong with the game. What frustrates me is that Q.U.B.E. wants to be more than what it actually is; a fun,…

Knytt Underground/Linux/mac/Nifflas/PC/PS Vita/PS3

Just yesterday Swedish indie developer Nifflas, in conjunction with Ripstone, announced his next project. That project is Knytt Underground, the followup to the popular Knytt and Knytt Stories games. Using some logic and assuming the existing screenshots are not fabrications of the final product, Knytt Underground appears to be a…

The weekend discussion: The Olympics!

July 27, 2012

Olympics/weekly chat

We’re going a little off topic this week with the weekend discussion, because there’s the matter of a small little sporting event going on. The Olympics remains the event that pulls the world together, so we’re looking forward to a great couple of weeks. What Olympics sports do you like…

007 legends/Activision/Hugo Drax/James Bond/Jaws

Activision has a small army of Bond series vets onboard for this Fall’s 007 Legends game. Get ready for some familiar faces (and tunes). Legends ties together six different Bond adventures from throughout the character’s massive catalog of movies. All together there’ll be five ‘in the box’ plus a free…

Trailer: Dead or Alive 5’s “Bunnies”… NSFW

Dead or Alive/sex/Tecmo Koei/trailer

I would normally introduce a video like this with something witty or a bit of commentary, but to hell with it. Tecmo Koei knows why people buy Dead or Alive games, and I feel like I need a cold shower now. Enjoy……

Interview: Disney’s new Australian distributor: ‘bricks & mortar’ retail proposition is not dead

Australia/Brian Quigley/Disney/Interview/Retail/Turn Left Distribution

Brian Quigley has been around the games business for many years in Australia, having held roles with both THQ and Nintendo. Now he has his own business, and it’s off to a great start. Turn Left Distribution has been set up as a third party support business for those (many)…

It’s Olympics time! In all honesty, this is an event I look forward to every four years. It’s a chance to watch some sports that never get TV coverage otherwise. I was lucky enough to be around Sydney for the 2000 Games, and I remember fondly the raw positive atmosphere…

NOW Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft should be worried about Apple; controller incoming

July 26, 2012

Apple/controller/iOS/Microsoft/Nintendo/patent/PlayStation/Sony/Xbox 360

“iPhone and iPad games suck. There’s no buttons!” This is a constant (erroneous) statement we all see people making for why the traditional console makers have nothing to fear about Apple. Except now they do, if a recent patent filing is any indication. Apple has patented a design that looks…

It’s Mario Month on the Nintendo Download

July 26, 2012

3DS/Nintendo/Super Mario Bros/Wario/Wii

Nintendo’s month long celebration of all things portable and Mario commences this week with a sale on the original Super Mario Bros and Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. So no sooner did I start to complain that there wasn’t going to be anything new posting to the eShop for A…
