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.

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…

With Gamescom being dubbed the second biggest video games conference after E3 (although we’d argue the Tokyo Game Show should at least have that second-place spot), several industry bigwigs are having briefings at this year’s event. Read on to learn about Microsoft’s briefing. The slogan they are going with? “Jump…

On Life is Strange: Episode 4: Things just got truly frightening

August 4, 2015

Dontnod Entertainment/Life is Strange/Life is Strange: Episode 4/Sony PlayStation 4

A new month brings with it a new chapter of the Life is Strange episodic series, and this is something that I have grown to really look forward to. I’m almost sad that there’s only one chapter left after this one, because after that it’s done, and I won’t get…

Moving through various Norse realms, Jotun is already, in this early stage, a gorgeous work of art coming from Thunder Lotus Games. In the game, we follow our our recently deceased hero Thora, as she quests to impress the Gods by defeating elementals in combat so that she may enter…

Not one, but two new Worms games have been announced

August 4, 2015

Android/iOS/iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch/News/PC/Team17/Worms/Worms 4/Worms WMD/Xbox One

When I was a child, I loved worms. I’d dig them up and try to keep them as pets while steadfastly refusing to be the one to put them on fish hooks as bait. As an adult, I still adore worms. But my fascination has grown away from uprooting them…

Danganronpa/Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls/Monokuma/News/NIS America/Spike Chunsoft

The first two Danganronpa games are arguably the most brilliant visual novels in existence. Yes, a bold statement, but one we are more than happy to back up. The third game is on its way to North America and Europe for the PS Vita. We’ve compiled everything you need to…

Gadget review: Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C USB Memory

August 3, 2015

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Kingston/Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C/Memory/storage

With the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C, I am setting myself a little challenge as a writer; write at least 500 words about a USB flash drive. Let’s see just how close I get. The DataTraveler microDuo 3C is tiny, to start. It is only the length of two fingernails, and…

Review: Onechanbara Z2: Chaos (Sony PlayStation 4)

August 3, 2015

action game/B-grade/exploitation/onechanbara/Onechanbara Z2: Chaos/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Tamsoft/XSEED/XSEED Games

It amuses me to know that this game will almost certainly be fixated on by a large number of critics and players for its costuming. They won’t be entirely wrong for that, because the four protagonists of Onechanbara Z2: Chaos really are dressed in the most ridiculously skimpy costumes from…

In a news announcement that we all assumed would happen eventually (even though the company kept insisting it wouldn’t), Koei Tecmo has confirmed that, yes, it is working on a new Dead or Alive Xtreme game. Related reading: Our review of Dead or Alive 5: Last Round. For those not…

If the Final Fantasy franchise mated with the Monster Hunter franchise, the resulting baby would be Final Fantasy Explorers. The game was released in Asia last year, but now it’s going global with Square Enix confirming it will be released on 3DS in North America and Europe on next January.…
