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…
Last week brought the sad news that Final Fantasy XV – a game that we at DDNet have enjoyed a great deal – is being wound up, with a number of the planned DLC add-ons now never going to see the light of day. We also talk about the response…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. The HyperX Pulsefire Core RGB Gaming Mouse will not break your budget, but offers solid design but not a lot of the extra frills found in higher end gaming mice. The features it does provide however, are all essentials that are generally well implemented. The first…
