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.

News by Matt S. We’ve got some more details about Kadokawa Games’ upcoming LoveR, a love simulation game from the same creator as Photo Kano. It actually seems to be a lot like Photo Kano, where you’ll be spending much of your time getting to know one of six different…
Read MoreThis week on the Digitally Uploaded podcast, we chat about a couple of big news moments that happened over the last week. First up, Civilization VI for the Nintendo Switch. How good is it going to be having that in portable form on the go (very, very good). Then we…
