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…
Review by Matt S. What a delightful little visual novel Miss Fisher and the Deathly Maze is. And, what a wonderful example of Australian creativity that permeates every part of the game. It’s an Australian-developed game (by Tin Man Games), based on one of the highest-profile Australian television series ever…

Read MoreOpinion by Matt S. One of the things that regularly confounds and frustrates me about games is just how limited the conversations around them are. Here we have an emergent art form – one that has proven over and over again that, yes, it is an art form; and yet,…
Read MorePreviews by Lachlan W. At the recent RTX event in Sydney, I was invited to go hands-on with a number of upcoming titles from Devolver Digital’s publishing stable. Playable on the show floor were Ruiner, Strafe, Shadow Warrior 2, and Absolver. I was also lucky enough to have a chat…

Read MorePreview by Matt S. Project Cars was one of my favourite racing games in recent years. It was a brutally realistic simulation of motorsport racing, which meant it wasn’t for anyone, but the precision and skill that it took to be good at Project Cars made it the right kind…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. I knew nothing about Get Even before getting some hands-on time with it at Bandai Namco’s offices recently. It looks like a pretty generic modern shooter, and in the opening chapter of the game, I thought that was exactly what it was setting itself up to…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Dragon Quest VIII is one of the best JRPGs ever crafted, and the 3DS is a great platform for it. I could leave the review at that and slap a score on it, but that would be rather lazy, so here’s a bunch more words about…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. For all its success, very few developers have attempted to emulate From Software’s “Souls” franchise (Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne); perhaps because developers realise what a monumental task these games are. It’s easy to chalk them up as just super-challenging action RPGs, but in reality it’s…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. It’s 1993. A new TV show launched, timed with when the kids got home from school. A show featuring five teenagers with powers to fight evil, using martial arts and giant robots. It just didn’t get much better than that. I was eight at the time…
