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. Gal*Gun: Double Peace is being localised into English, and it is going to be utterly slaughtered by the media. And that’s going to be completely unfair, because Gal*Gun is great. This game was provided to us by Play-Asia for review. If it looks good to you,…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. NORTH is a wonderfully thought out art game about the current refugee crisis, drawing influence from cyberpunk and surrealism. A lot of people are going to be scared off by this sentence alone and write the game off as a walking simulator. If you aren’t though,…
Read MoreReview by Matt C. Stories: The Path of Destinies could best be described as an action RPG wrapped in a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure picture book. I don’t mean that in the sense of having a choice-driven narrative, as is so common in games these days, but that Stories has as a core…

Despite the recommendation that that fund be restored by a recent Senate enquiry into the games industry. Despite the treasurer going on and on…
Read MoreReviews by Matt S. Welcome to this week’s short ‘n sweet reviews, where I look at a number of games that I’ve been playing that I just haven’t got the time to do give full reviews to. These aren’t necessarily bad games – not at all! But rather they are…
Read MoreNews by Lindsay M. By this time, it’s safe to say I trust Kalypso with all my city-building needs. I mean, one word sums up my trust quite nicely: Tropico. But Kalypso is now making the leap from city building to city ruling, publishing indie developer Fragment Productions’ Urban Empire.…
Read MoreReview by Hamza A. The Collider 2 is a tunnel racer that’s unlike most tunnel racers out there. With fantastic visuals and a sleek sci-fi setting that brings to mind the world of Mass Effect, The Collider 2 is as visually impressive as it is in its gameplay. Featuring high…
