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…

Gamebook/Herald of Oblivion/Jonathan Green/Legacy of Dorn/Neil Rennison/News/Tin Man Games/warhammer 40k

Digitally Downloaded loves Tin Man Games. And I mean loves. Tin Man Games is responsible for game after game that we soak up eagerly and continuously until their next game arrives. They are featured in Matt’s upcoming book, Game Art. The small Indie developer from Australia is most known for…

Review: Steins;Gate (Sony PlayStation 3)

August 26, 2015

5PB/PQube/PS3 Review/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 3/Steins;Gate/visual novel

Much like walking simulators do not appeal to everyone, visual novels have their detractors as well. That being said, do not let this title’s relatively low level of interaction deter you from experiencing what is one of the best narratives out there. I do not just mean in video games,…

DDNet does Japan! Day #5: Eating at the Final Fantasy XIV restaurant

August 26, 2015

Final Fantasy Restaurant/Japan/Restaurant/Square Enix/Tour Japan/tourism/travel

As you could probably have gathered from my previous day’s trip to the Moomin cafe, the Japanese do like their themed restaurants and cafes. From maid and cat cafes to temporary set-ups (such as a Danganronpa-themed food court that I visited last year but is sadly gone), if you’re a…

Review: Until Dawn (Sony PlayStation 4)

As I commented in my hands-on preview of Until Dawn a couple of weeks ago, it genuinely surprises me that game developers so rarely tackle the teen slasher horror genre as a subject. We all know the industry’s love of zombies, but as fun as that horror can be, there’s…

Final Fantasy/Final Fantasy XIV/News/Square Enix

Between Final Fantasy VII on iOS and Final Fantasy Portal there has been a lot of news on (one of) our favourite series, and somehow amongst it all we missed this important information! Below is a “Letter from the Producer” video posted to the Square Enix forums, where the first…

Level editor update coming to Badland for iOS

August 26, 2015

Badland/Frogmind/iOS/iPad/iPhone/News/trailer/update

Many deem Frogmind’s Badland as one of the classic must-have games for Apple’s mobile operating system. Even Apple agrees, with the game almost always being featured in the App Store for one reason or another. It’s also touted as one of the most updated games of all time, going from…

Review: BRAWL (PC)

August 25, 2015

Arcade/Bloober Team/Bomberman clone/BRAWL/Multiplayer/PC/PC Review/Reviews

BRAWL is a title that generally gets things right. A couple of bugs and sketchy framerate now and again are easy enough to live with because the game itself is a lot of fun, especially with friends. The bigger issue is is that this is a game that benefits greatly…

DDNet does Japan! Day #4: Import Review: IA/VT Colorful (Sony PlayStation Vita)

August 25, 2015

IA/VT Colorful/Import/Import Review/Japan/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/rhythm game/Tour Japan/Vita Review/vocaloid

Like I was going to pass up an opportunity to grab a new vocaloid game while I was in Japan. Especially since it’s a game that we’re being told can never be localised into English. IA/VT Colorful might feature a vocaloid whose popularity by comparison to Hatsune Miku is like…

Beta/Competition/Might & Magic Heroes VII

We love the Heroes of Might & Magic series at Digitally Downloaded. When the HD version of HOM&M 3 landed on our iPads earlier in the year we played obsessively for weeks. Now, the next true sequel is almost upon us in Might & Magic Heroes VII, and Ubisoft has…

Review: Lost Dimension (Sony PlayStation Vita)

August 25, 2015

Atlus/JRPG/Lost Dimension/NISA/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/tactics game/Vita Review

Initially, I wasn’t too fond of what Lost Dimension was offering. It seemed like it was a simplistic turn based combat tactics game, with a relationship system that seemed to mirror the absence of complexity that the combat system was offering. How wrong was I. Related reading: For a second…
