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.

Opinion by Matt S. “When we’ve dabbled with backwards compatibility, I can say it is one of those features that is much requested, but not actually used much… That, and I was at a Gran Turismo event recently where they had PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 games, and the PS1…
Read MoreTekken 7 has landed, finally! What a great game it has proven to be. This week on the podcast, the DDNet team talks all about the new addiction that we have to the big new fighting game. Because there have been so many fighting games released recently, we also take…
Read MoreReview by Lachlan W. To me, “walking simulator” will never be a derogatory term. For someone who values story over all else in games, I appreciate the narrative purity of walking simulators. The Fidelio Incident, by Act 3 Games, is the latest entry into the genre on PC. But does…

Read MoreReview by Nick H. The Tesoro Tuned In-Ear Pro Headphones deliver fairly big sound for being such little devices, but there is a bit of a cost to them. Not monetarily, because the price is right, but in their design which helps to deliver the quality audio but in the…
