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.

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…

Berserk Warriors both concerns and delights me

Berserk/Berserk Warriors/Beserk/E3 2016/Koei Tecmo/News/trailer/Trailers/Warriors

News by Matt S.  Koei Tecmo has been teasing a brand new Warriors title in the lead up to E3. We had been thinking it might have been based on a western franchise, which naturally led us to stuff like Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, but as it…

We have come to expect a lot from Bethesda, having delivered several of the best games of the last year (in this writer’s opinion) with Fallout 4, Fallout Shelter, Elder Scrolls Online and Doom. So the bar was set pretty high leading up to the company’s second annual Showcase event at…

Retro reflections by Nick H. Having spent a good deal of time with Dark Souls III recently, the idea of good level design has been forefront in my mind. This led me to dig up my copy of Metroid, a game that I first played about a year after its initial…

Mass Effect: Andromeda looks amazing, now how’s about we see some gameplay, EA?

BioWare/E3 2016/EA/mass effect/Mass Effect Andromeda/News/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S.  For the second E3 in a row, EA has opted to simply tease us with Mass Effect Andromeda. We know it’s in development. We know it’s meant to be coming in 2017 (in theory, anyway), but, as you’ll see from this trailer below, we still only…

Hooray for Fe! EA’s new Originals project is off to a great start

E3 2016/EA Originals/Fe/Indie/News/trailer/Trailers/Zoink

News by Matt S. The most exciting thing about EA’s rather disappointing showing at E3 this year (in which it promised an awful lot but showed off very little) was its Originals initiative. EA Originals comes on the back of the massive success that Unravel was for the publisher, and…

EA got the E3 ball rolling this year with a series of trailers and announcements dedicated chiefly to its AAA franchises. You know – Star Wars, Mass Effect, Battlefield, and Titanfall. There was one quainter game announcement in the mix, however, it turned out to be among the show’s most impressive.…

June 10, 2016
Friday 10s/Koei Tecmo/list/Musou/The Friday 10/Top 10/Warriors

List by Matt C. Next week at E3, Koei Tecmo will announce a new Musou (or Warriors, if you prefer) game, and it’s looking likely that it’ll be another crossover – like Dragon Quest Heroes, One Piece Pirate Warriors, and Hyrule Warriors – but with a “prominent overseas IP”. In…

Why Japanese horror is different; Ju-On director, Takashi Shimizu

June 10, 2016
DDNet Premium/Features/film/film review/Horror/Interview/Interviews/Ju-On/Major Feature/NightCry/Takashi Shimizu

Feature by Matt S. Horror is a product of culture. How that manifests might be different from one example of the genre to the next, however. It might be because the work is tapping into deep seated fears that are a combination of biological responses to perceived threats – the…
