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.

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…

Review: WRC 6 (Sony PlayStation 4)

PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Racing Game/rally racing/Reviews/sports game/WRC 6

Review by Matt S. Picking up the rights to make games based on Rally driving is smart. Most racing games require complex AI to represent the other cars on the track, as well as physics to handle collisions between cars. But Rally doesn’t have any of that. Rally’s all about…

Review by Nick H. Over the last few years, the WWE series has done a nice job of adding substantial new features while improving upon some of its weaker areas. This has made the annual releases something for wrestling fans to look forward to. This year’s release of WWE 2K17…

Nintendo Switch: Has Nintendo left itself with too much to do in too little time?

October 21, 2016

business/DDNet Premium/Financial results/Marketing/Nintendo/Nintendo Switch/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. There we go. We finally know something about the Nintendo NX, now formally titled “Switch.” Not nearly enough, and I’ll get on to that in a moment, but we know something. Finally. Related reading: A full run-down of the Switch trailer and news. What we do…

Review by Matt S. Having Hatsune Miku in Virtual Reality was one of the key reasons that I was interested in the PlayStation VR, and I’m not even going to pretend otherwise. The first game to feature the waifu to end all waifus is less of what you’d call a…

Review by Matt S. Apologies to all the DDNet readers for the delay in getting this review up; tracking down a PlayStation VR unit when you made the mistake of not preordering it was a challenge. Thankfully one of the DDNet team was able to find a unit on sale…

Review by Matt S. It’s always risky to base an artwork on a completely foreign culture. It can be done, of course, but regardless of how much you respect a culture, basing a work on it runs the risk of giving the entire setting a superficiality and shallowness that comes…

Nintendo unveils NX as “Nintendo Switch”, merges consoles and handhelds

News by Clark A. Nintendo’s upcoming hardware project was first mentioned during March last year, but the information supply since then has been slim pickings to say the least. Naturally, hundreds of theories and so-called “leaks” flooded the internet in that announcement’s wake, but today we can finally put our…

3DS Review/board game/digital board game/Mario Party/Mario Party: Star Rush/minigame compilation/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews

Review by Matt S. I haven’t liked the direction that Mario Party has been heading for quite some time. Back on the Nintendo 64, where the series debuted, I enjoyed the games because they offered nice, light-hearted and entertaining board games, with plenty of minigames thrown in to keep the…

Review by Matt S. In Japan, horror is a summer activity. For centuries the Japanese have flocked to exhibitions of ghost paintings, haunted houses, and the cinema in the hottest months of the year in order to experience scares and chills. They do this precisely because that chilling effect of…
