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…
Those who love The Walking Dead are never without new content for long: between toys, games, books, and television, there is always something fresh and exciting to enjoy. Continuing with their momentum from two five-episode (and very successful) seasons of The Walking Dead game, Telltale is now set to launch…
Read MoreI’m actually surprised it has taken this long for Square Enix to come up with its own spin on the Monster Hunter franchise. Capcom’s behemoth has certainly been successful in creating an entirely new genre, in which players take on hulking beasts in highly strategic, complex, sustained battles. Titles such…
Read MoreThere has been an idea floating around the industry for quite a while now that video games could have merit in exploring subjects that you would traditionally see in a newspaper. These “newsgames” would be an interactive way of relaying current events to people, and in getting them to interact…
Read MoreAt first Attractio looks as though it might have something interesting to say about reality television and our need for entertainment, wrapped up in a game with some solid puzzle-solving. Unfortunately that goodwill is quickly squandered by a poor presentation and a complete failure opportunity to make the most of…
Read MoreDeveloper-turned-publisher Nnooo will be bringing bunny greatness to the Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Xbox One. No matter what console you use, odds are you’ll be able to pick up Blast ‘Em Bunnies, which is being both developed and published from the Sydney-based company. The game was announced…
Read MoreWhat amazes me with Koei Tecmo’s Warriors franchise in recent years is just how good the company has become in distinguishing each new title from what came previously. It is, after all, a series that was once erroneously chalked up as an endless stream of samey button mashers (and still…
Read MoreWhen we look at the modern FPS we think of Call of Duty, Battlefield & Halo as your big AAA shooters. Often we question the evolution of these games and how little progress is made each year. It wasn’t always like that. Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was once a big gun…
Read MoreRebel Galaxy surprised me by offering a take on the space simulation/RPG genre and bringing it to console in a way that worked well with a controller. With more of an emphasis on action than strategy, the only real flaw – and it is a notable one – is the…
Read MoreIt takes some real cajones to take a popular song and change it completely. I think we forget that in a world in which covers are more commonplace than original music; if you’re going to take something great and do something with it, even when it was your creation in…
Read MoreHappy Lunar New Year! It’s now the Year of the Monkey, for those who haven’t been keeping track, and that means if you were born in 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944 or 1932 (how awesome would it be if someone born in 1932 is reading DDNet?), this year’s all…
