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.

Read MorePhotos by Matt S. I’ve started a new feature where I share photos of my trips to Japan – God knows I take enough of them (I’ve got around 11,000 stored on hard drives), and I want to share my passion for the country, and everything within it. So, each…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Sometimes a game comes out of nowhere that you would never have expected to see, but it immediately wins you over. Ganbare! Super Strikers is one such example of the game. The work of a Aussie indie developer (I suspect a one-man band), Ganbare! Super Strikers…
