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.

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…

Final Fantasy VII port announced for PCs

July 4, 2012

Final Fantasy/PC/Square Enix

In what may or may not be a hypocritical move, Square Enix has just announced a PC port of its most revered RPG Final Fantasy VII. While it appears that the port will only be available through Square’s online store, the game will not just be a simple by-the-numbers port.…

Apple/Cthulhu saves the world/iPad/Retro/Reviews/RPG

Cthulhu Saves The World is a parody-RPG classic. There is absolutely no denying that. The game is worth buying to support the developer for the promotional video alone. You’ll be able to watch it after the break – I suggest you take the time to do so. You’ll laugh yourself…

Left 4 Dead 2/PC/Steam/Valve/Xbox 360

After more than a solid year of beta testing, Valve has decided to finally release the community-gone-official Left 4 Dead 2 campaign Cold Stream on July 24th. Not only will the campaign be available to those playing on their PCs, but Xbox 360 users will be able to download the…

Square Enix has restored my faith in gaming

July 3, 2012

Nintendo/Opinion/Square Enix/Theatrhythm

I’m in the middle of writing a review for Theatrhythm for Otaku Gaming, but I feel compelled to write about it here as well, because, frankly, this game has restored my faith in gaming. That faith had been waning – to me, the games industry has lost a great deal…

Van Helsing trailer is looking sharp as a stake

Dracula/NeocoreGames/PC/Steam/The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing/vampires/XBLA/Xbox Live

The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing’s newest trailer shows off some new weaponry and a whole pile of monsters to use it on.Dracula might be the legendary nightstalker’s main prey, but as this new look at the game shows, there are plenty of other beasties loose in the night. Big…

Review: Sonic Rivals (PSP)

July 3, 2012

PSN/PSP/Reviews/Sega/Sonic Rivals

Ah, how times have changed. Sonic Heroes once encouraged us to tap into “the real super power of team work”, but Sonic Rivals says evil is so incompetent that the good guys can afford to beat each other up while saving the world. Rivals blends the classic 2D Sonic formula…

Review: Marvel Pinball 3D (3DS)

July 3, 2012

3DS/Marvel Pinball 3D/Nintendo/pinball/Reviews/Zen Studios

We kinda liked the original Zen Pinball when it released last year on the then fledgling Nintendo eShop. In fact, we liked it so much we gave it the Nintendo download game of the year award. So are we up for some more pinball action from this incredibly talented studio?…

Assassin’s Creed III trailer ignites the revolution

4th of July/Assassin's Creed III/Independence Day/PC/PlayStation/PS3/Steam/Ubisoft/Xbox 360

The new trailer for Ubisoft’s upcoming third (numbered) entry its popular Assassin’s Creed series delivers some Independence Day flavor just in time for the 4th of July. I’m honestly not sure what the “this Fourth of July, ignite the revolution” means since there’s nothing going on with the game until…

Sony acquires Gaikai – I was right (more or less)

July 2, 2012

acquisition/Gaikai/Sony

I was so freaking close. Having predicted not a few months ago that one of the hardware titans – Sony or Microsoft – would go and acquire Onlive, Sony goes and announces that it’s going to acquire rival Cloud provider, Gaikai, for $380 million. You know what? It’s close enough.…

Review: Modern Combat 3 (iPad)

July 2, 2012

FPS/Gameloft/iPad/Modern Combat/Reviews

As much as I try, sometimes it’s impossible to avoid Gameloft. As a rule of thumb I don’t like what Gameloft produces as it tends to be technically competent, but soulless and cynical copies of better games, but sometimes Gameloft hits the big time with its franchises. Modern Combat is…
