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…
Article by Matt S. One of my new favourite destinations while in Japan is the VR theme park that Bandai Namco has constructed right in the heart of Kabukicho. Yes, the one that lets you play Mario Kart in VR. I had the good fortune of going along to it…
Read MoreNintendo and Sony both recently held major events in which the respective publishers showed off everything that they’ve got coming in the coming months, and what a lineup both platformers have. Ahead of TGS, we can’t help but get excited about all the stuff that’s on the way! Thanks as…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. It’s 2018 and things exist, indie games are occupying every niche available, and here’s a blackjack game on Switch which perfectly recreates the style and look of Street Fighter II. The similarities are uncanny, down to the choices in colour palette, the lavish backgrounds and the…
Read MoreArticle by Matt S. So I’m in Japan for my annual pilgrimage (for Tokyo Game Show and other things). In most years when I’ve been here I’ve also indulged in a bit of travel journalism and shared stories and photos of my travels. I’ll be doing some of that this…

There are numerous options and modes, with excellent on-court action and outstanding presentation values. There are still a handful of quirky things that occur on the court, and 2K’s truly horrible approach…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Senran Kagura, the franchise, is great. Whether it’s the water gun shooter, the mainline action brawlers, the anime or the upcoming pinball game, this series brings extreme, ridiculous, hyper-sexualisation in a way that can only be called “rambunctious”.

Read MoreReview by Rob P. My, this is a sprightly one. There’s a definite liveliness to the key action on the Roccat Horde Aimo. In comparison with other mid-price keyboards it’s like having a trampoline for your fingers. This is all deliberate, of course. Roccat have never been shy about trying…
