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…
Review by Brad L. “Tonight I’ll die here, and I’ll take all of you sons of bitches with me” (you just threw that line in there so you could use swears in your review, didn’t you? – ed). Akane sets the tone for this slashfest right from the get go,…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. It surprises me that it has taken the talented group at Creative Assembly so long to take a swing at bringing its Total War formula to the ancient conflict depicted in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. As a conflict that spread across the entirety of China,…
