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…

Review: The Escapists (Sony PlayStation 4)

June 5, 2015
Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Puzzle Game/Reviews/The Escapists

People have a real fascination in creating and then solving crime fiction puzzles. Right from the formation of the detective story in Edgar Allan Poe’s The Murders in the Rue Morgue, through Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes and Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, the game with which the…

Contrast is one of our favourite independent games ever. Released first on old generation consoles (and PCs) back in 2013, before making its way to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, Contrast was a fascinating and deeply interesting game with a breathtaking art style and really clever theme and set…

Review: Heroes of Loot (PC)

June 4, 2015
action game/dual-stick shooter/Heroes of Loot/Indie/PC/Roguelike

Heroes of Loot is a basic twin-stick roguelike shooter that acts as something of a crossover tribute to the Gauntlet and Geometry Wars franchises. The premise for our heroes is a simple one. They have been tasked with going into the dungeon to clean house as it hasn’t been done…

Final Fantasy X-2: More than a pretty face?

Final Fantasy fans – and the broader gaming community – have a complex relationship with Final Fantasy X-2. Despite both games in the mini-series being reasonably highly rated games at the time, over the years, Final Fantasy X has been (rightfully) lauded as an absolute classic, while Final Fantasy X-2…

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I’ve been on a bit of a pinball binge at the moment. From writing that whopping 3,000 word feature on the resurgence of the pastime, to spending money I don’t really have catching up on all the Pinball Arcade games, it’s been a busy little…

Review: Sparkle Unleashed (Microsoft Xbox One)

There’s something quite soothing about match three games. The market is flooded with them nowadays, and even though it feels like you’ve done everything it has to offer before, you can still go in and have some fun with it. That is, until you remember that you really have played…

Review: Splatoon (Nintendo Wii U)

Multiplayer/Multiplayer shooter/Nintendo Wii U/Reviews/Shooter/shooters/Splatoon/Wii U Review

I wasn’t sold on Splatoon at first. I had no love of the modern children’s cartoon aesthetic that I saw in trailers and video, and while I did appreciate that Nintendo was looking to get involved in the shooter genre in a more family friendly, bloodless, and original way, I…

One of the most exciting announcements from Koei Tecmo recently has been that it is finally localising a Nobunaga’s Ambition game. After a very long wait from the last English Nobunaga’s Ambition, Sphere of Influence is landing on our PlayStation 4s in September, and we can’t wait. Sphere of Influence…

Interview: On Toren, art, and why Brazil’s Government is showing the world how to develop modern creative industries

June 3, 2015
Brazil/Interview/Interviews/Swordtales/Toren/Vitor Severo Leães

A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed Toren, a new, independent game from Brazil, and I was completely blown away by it. It’s the kind of arthouse game that very much speaks to me, and is part of a growing body of evidence that game developers from all over the…

Review: Dirty Bomb (PC)

Dirty Bomb/F2P/FPS/Free-to-play/multiplayer only game/Multiplayer shooter/Nexon America Inc/PC Review/Reviews/Splash Damage

Dirty Bomb is a fresh take on the FPS genre, despite a name suggesting something very generic. It’s a bit of a throwback to faster paced shooters such as Team Fortress and Quake but it also has an much greater focus on teamwork that many other, similar games. Visually the…
