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 Ginny W. The wait is finally over. Taiko no Tatsujin, the acclaimed Japanese rhythm game featuring many little drums who could, has finally had a localisation on both Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4.

Read MoreReview by Matt C. Car Quest is delightfully simple in its concept: it’s a 3D platformer, but you’re a car. You control like a car does—in other words, you can’t jump, save by flying off ramps. It works, and better than I would have expected. It’s got the best parts…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As a critic I generally try and avoid reading other reviews and impressions of games before I’ve sat down to do my own review. It’s just a personal preference not to have other people’s ideas floating around my head while I’m thinking of my own. With…

Read MoreReview by Tyler T. The latest futuristic racing game to release is GRIP: Combat Racing, a Rollcage-inspired title that features gravity defying open-wheeled vehicles that can drive on any surface. From walls to ceilings, if it looks like the player can drive on it then it’s a possible path through…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As a kid I loved the Where’s Wally find’em books (Where’s Waldo in other parts of the world). It wasn’t just the challenge of trying to find Wally or the other specific points of interest that the book challenged you with finding across each of its…
