Competition

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. As we wrote in our 4.5/5 review: Do you know that…

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…

I’m not sure there’s ever a precisely right time to release a…

A good space based RTS fans take note- Headup’s Stellar Impact is now available (with requisite DLC) on Steam. I can’t recall playing a good fleet commanding real time strategy game since the days of Homeworld and Armada, so I’m actually pretty stoked to see Stellar Armada. According to the…

Retro Review: Ikari III The Rescue (PS Minis)

May 11, 2012

ikari III: the rescue/Ikari Warriors/PlayStation Minis/PS3/PSP/snk

A throwback to a time when cartridges cost $100 each and hand to hand combat was innovative. SNK really has the stable of classic titles under its belt doesn’t it? From fighting games to side-scrollers (and vertical scrollers) I’m sure pretty much any gamer who’s old enough to have spent…

Retro Review: Mario Party 2 (Wii Virtual Console)

May 11, 2012

Mario Party 2/N64/Retro/Reviews/Virtual Console

Mario Party is still alive and kicking after nine main entries and a handful of offshoots. Regrettably, it’s now accompanied by increasingly vocal disappointment. Many feel the mini-game quality has degenerated and that the gameplay has become far too focused on chance rather than ability. For those who feel this…

Conception/Love Plus/Opinion/sex/violence

So there’s a little game called Conception: Please Have My Baby that has been released in Japan on the PSP. Amazingly (though likely under a different name), it is coming to the west too. By all accounts it’s a really good game. Produced by Spike Chunsoft, it’s got reliable pedigree…

Before the days of games being forced to include a multiplayer mode only to flimsily justify a $10 online pass, video game companies and video game retailers appeared to get along. As the only way for distributing their game, maybe video game companies had to get along with video game…

Trailer: Assassin’s Creed III gameplay

May 10, 2012

Assassin's Creed/trailer

That Assassin’s Creed III game is going to be a pretty big release this year, or so we hear. I must admit I still have my reservations about it, since that yearly release cycle has led to a definite degeneration of quality in the series, but hey, this new trailer…

Review: Warp (PS3)

May 10, 2012

aliens/EA/PlayStation 3/PSN/puzzle/warp

Adorable and he makes people explode? Sold. EA’s Warp is a pretty unique game. One part puzzler, one part stealth adventure, and one part action- and all tied together with a really nice (somewhat old school) coat of paint. Things start off with an alien abduction- but it’s one that…

Journey to Datura in the PSN Update

May 10, 2012

Datura/PlayStation/PlayStation Home/PlayStation Minis/PlayStation Network/PlayStation Plus/PlayStation Store/PlayStation Vita

PS fans get a slightly skimpy week this time around on the the Playstation update, but there’s one possible gem that just might make up for the lack of content. Datura is a first person, PS Move enabled title that almost has an air of Silent Hill to it. In…

The Nintendo Download scores a Sudoku

Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/nintendo download/Nintendo DS/Nintendo Network/Nintendo Video/Nintendo Wii/Sudoku by Nikoli

Not a ton of big name stuff this week, but an infamous little pen and paper time waster makes it’s way to the 3DS. Sudoku by Nikoli comes to the portable from the company that gave the popular number puzzle its name. So if anybody could make a decent electronic…

Indies/Jason Rohrer/kickstarter/Nintendo DS

I know this isn’t a downloadable game, but Jason Rohrer with Music by Tom Bailey: Diamond Trust of London is a long winded game with a lot of soul. It’s a little artistic Nintendo DS game by a real genius of the medium. It also needs money. $78,715 to be…
