LAST CHANCE! Win one of FIVE RIG 800 PRO headsets & Stranger Of Paradise (+DLC)

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…

Why I can’t review Martha is Dead

I don’t believe topics should be ignored in games, but I do believe that certain issues need to be handled delicately; things like mental illness, sexual assault, and war are not topics to be taken lightly. LKA is, to me, best known for approaching some very sensitive topics in The…

News by Matt S. Another little E3 gem trailer that wasn’t part of any of the stage shows, but has managed to catch our attention, is Maximum Games’ Extinction. If you were to imagine Attack on Titan, replacing the titans with orcs, you’d basically be on track for what Extinction…

News by Matt S. Why Sony insisted on restricting its major E3 stage show to an hour of the nonsense blockbuster stuff is a mystery that will be lost to time, but that doesn’t mean the PlayStation 4 is lacking for quality at the show by any means. One great…

E3 2017: Monster Hunter World looks great, but is it better than Toukiden 2?

June 13, 2017

Capcom/E3/E3 2017/Monster Hunter/Monster Hunter World/News/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. For the first time, Monster Hunter will come into direct commercial and critical competition with its rival, Koei Tecmo’s oni hunter, Toukiden. For the first time, players will be able to directly compare a Monster Hunter game to a Toukiden title as both Toukiden 2 and…

E3 2017: Moss was a real highlight of Sony’s show… but why is it a VR game?

June 13, 2017

E3/E3 2017/Indie/Moss/News/PlayStation VR/Sony PlayStation VR/VR

News by Matt S. Of all the games that Sony showed off at its E3 conference this year, the most fundamentally interesting one must have been Moss, a game about a mouse that is being developed by Seattle, USA-based developer, Polyarc. As an introduction to the adventure we are provided…

The last major show of E3 has come and gone (remembering that Nintendo’s is technically a Web show and not a live experience), and… well, Sony was underwhelming, to say the least. The company came out with the intention to show off all its blockbuster development. That much was clear.…

E3 2017: Ubisoft’s reveal of Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle won me over

June 13, 2017

E3/E3 2017/game announcement/Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle/News/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/trailer/Trailers/Ubisoft

News by Clark A. In an alternate universe, Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle was first revealed in Nintendo’s E3 presentation tomorrow. It was promptly treated to a downpour of cyber vitriol for its troubles. Okay, not really. My point here is that perhaps the wonders of internet leaks have softened the animosity…

News by Lindsay M. Hello again everybody, and welcome back to Digitally Downloaded’s coverage of E3 2017! Today’s last press conference is the one I know I’ve been most eager for: Sony. The conference took place at 6 p.m. PST on Monday, June 12 at E3 in Los Angeles. My…

Beyond good and evil/Beyond Good and Evil 2/E3/E3 2017/News/Ubisoft

News by Matt C. Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been a long time coming. It was actually announced way back in 2008, but then we heard nothing more and it seemed doomed to the vaporware graveyard. Or, at least, it would’ve been doomed if Beyond Good and Evil’s legions…

E3/E3 2017/News/Skull & Bones/trailer/Trailers/Ubisoft

News by Matt S. One of the best things about Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag (and, later, Rogue) was the ship-to-ship combat out at sea. Large sailing ships from back in the day were hard to manoeuvre and difficult to control, and this gave ocean combat a very different feel to…

E3 2017: Ni No Kuni 2 is happening this year, rejoice!

June 12, 2017

E3/E3 2017/News/Ni No Kuni/Ni No Kuni II Revenant Kingdom/release date/Release Dates

News by Matt S. Ni No Kuni was one very special game. Developed in a partnership between Studio Ghibli (as in the people that made Spirited Away and My Neighbor Totoro) and Level-5, it was a beautiful, heartfelt, and rich monster-collecting JRPG with a great personality and soul. Related reading:…
