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. As we wrote in our 4.5/5 review: Do you know that…

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: Mega Man Legacy Collection (Nintendo 3DS)

2D platformer/3DS/3DS Reviews/Capcom/Mega Man/Mega Man Legacy Collection/Nintendo/Reviews

Review by Clark A.  Although Mega Man is by far Capcom’s most prolific franchise, it’s been about half a decade since the company devoted any serious resources to it. Capcom hasn’t erased the blue bomber but rendered him the equivalent of a niche Mickey Mouse. He’s retained his iconic status…

Feature by Danica Dee. Today is Doll’s Day, or Girl’s Day in Japan (Hinamatsuri). One of the lesser-known Japanese special days outside of the country, it’s nevertheless an important religious holiday, and I thought it might be nice to highlight it here today. Hinamatsuri is, as the name suggests, a…

On creating languages for Far Cry Primal

March 2, 2016
Academic/Andrew Byrd/Brenna Byrd/Far Cry Primal/Interview/Interviews/linguistics/Ubisoft

Interview by Matt S.  Okay, so one of the coolest features in Far Cry Primal was easily the fact that Ubisoft commissioned an entire language for it to tell its story through. Now, creating a language is not a simple matter of taking existing words and coming up with some nonsense…

Review: Heavy Rain (Sony PlayStation 4)

Review by Matt S. As much respect as I have for David Cage, I hadn’t actually played Heavy Rain before. I didn’t have a PlayStation 3 when it first launched, and when I did eventually pick one up, there were an awful lot of games I had to catch up…

Review: Adventures of Mana (Apple iPhone)

action RPG/Adventures of Mana/Apple iPhone/iPhone Review/JRPG/Reviews/Square Enix

Review by Matt S. The Mana series is the closest that Square Enix comes to a B-grade franchise. That’s not to say the games released under its name are bad (I’m one of the very few that genuinely love Children of Mana on the Nintendo DS), but with the exception…

News by Lindsay M. Well readers, I am going to be upfront about this: if you choose to go further than this paragraph, you may not want to do it in a public or work setting. Now that you’re tucked away in a corner somewhere on your cell phone, here’s…

Hatsune Miku/News/The Australian

News by Matt S. A bit of a boast piece here, but I do think that the article will be of great interest to DDNet readers. I’ve written an in-depth piece on the social implications of Hatsune Miku, virtual and augmented reality, and the idea of constructed realities. That article…

Review by Pierre-Yves L.  Rainbow Moon has been out for a few years on both Sony’s PlayStation 3 and was then ported to Vita. Releasing for the first time on the PlayStation 4, this hardcore grind-heavy tactics RPG experience is fully set up with cross-saving for those who want to…

Review by Matt S.  Here’s a concept for you, and it’s beautiful in its simplicity: a girl in a schoolgirl’s uniform, carrying an impressive sword, taking on hordes of enemies on her way to an eventual showdown with another schoolgirl. A superb martial artist, this girl’s abilities to leap around,…

Review by Dylan C. I wonder when the FPS genre will cease to be the flavour of the month in this industry of ours. Over the years, different genres have enjoyed the spotlight, then taken a backseat, popularity moving in constant flux with modern trends and fickle tastes. Related reading:…
