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…

Artdink/Bandai Namco Games/JRPG/PS4 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4/Sword Art Online: Lost Song

Sword Art Online: Last Song hits a lot of really comfortable notes along the way, making some improvements to gameplay over the original game that should make it more accessible to most players. However, the target audience here is clearly fans of the source material, and others might not come…

Gadget Review: SCUF 4PS (Sony PlayStation 4)

controller/Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/SCUF/SCUF 4PS

I can think of no single gaming genre more competitive than the shooter right now. Certainly there are games out there such as MOBAs, MMOs, sports and more that have their intense, passionate fan bases, but as someone who has friends who adhere to just about every genre out there,…

Review: Kromaia Omega (Sony PlayStation 4)

3D shoot 'em up/Kracken Empire/Kromaia/Kromaia Omega/PlayStation/PlayStation 4 Review/PS4/PSN/Reviews/Rising Star Games/SHMUP

Kromaia Omega deserves a gold trophy and a plaque that reads “most ambitious shoot ’em up of the decade”. It’s not as though the genre is starved for novel ideas; there have been countless shakeups to the classic 1980s arcade formula with titles like 99 Bullets and Everyday Shooter that…

Over the last couple of years, the annual Japan film festival, which brings some of the most impressive films from Japan to Australia, has become one of my most anticipated events of the year. In 2015 it didn’t disappoint. Related reading: My interview with one of the organisers of the…

2D platformer/Indie/platformer/Poncho/PS4 Review/Reviews/Rising Star Games/Sony PlayStation 4

I love ambitious games, I really do, and Poncho is nothing if not ambitious. From the very beginning it evokes a sense of wonder through its lavishly designed sprites and Mode 7 parallax scrolling, taking you through a great cataclysm before throwing you into the shoes of Poncho, a small…

News/Night School Studios/Oxenfree/PC/Xbox One

I have fond memories of yelling “Olly olly oxen free!” as a child. After all, that phrase meant it was safe to come out of hiding without fear of being penalized while playing hide-and-seek. It was also shouted by Newman before he jumped into the pool (and onto the pool…

I am just going to put everything on the line right out of the gate: Layers of Fear is not easy to play. Actually, let me correct that: it isn’t easy to play if you’re a giant wimp, much like myself. I’ve played my fair share of games in preview,…

Indie/iPad/iPad Review/JRPG/Reviews/Zodiac: Orcanon Odyssey

I first got a taste for Zodiac two years ago, where, as a freshly announced game, it occupied a major-sized booth at Tokyo Game Show. Buggy as it was back then I saw an awful lot of potential in it as a 2D RPG with similar production standards that won…
