Competition

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…

Review: BRAWL (Sony PlayStation 4)

Bloober Team/Bomberman/Bomberman clone/BRAWL/Multiplayer/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

I can picture the team meeting in Bloober Team’s office when BRAWL was first envisioned. I imagine much of the team, having completed Basement Crawl, were quite mortified at the public response to their attempt to recreate Bomberman with a horror twist, and figured they’d try and do it right…

Review: Quarries of Scred (PC)

Arcade/Indie/PC/PC Review/Quarries of Scred/Retro/Reviews/Surprise Attack

About an hour into my time with Quarries of Scred, I decided to look at the game’s stats page and see what my progress has been like. To my surprise, sixty minutes into the game I had made one hundred attempts into the game’s randomly generated mines. Published by Surprise…

Review: Project CARS (Sony PlayStation 4)

Bandai Namco/PlayStation 4/Project CARS/PS4 Review/Racing Game/Reviews/Serious Racing Game

Project CARS is the first serious racing game of genuine quality on the new generation of consoles. It’s not the first racing game, of course, because we’ve got the likes of Forza, Driveclub, and The Crew, but they’re all variations of racing games designed around creating a sensation of speed…

Strategy and classic RPG fans rejoice! A new Humble Bundle has been launched, and it is by far the best value bundle I’ve come across yet. The Humble Might & Magic Bundle gives you access (at any price) to Heroes of Might & Magic 2: Gold Edition, Heroes of Might…

Review: Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today (PC)

adventure game/Daedalic Entertainment/Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today/Fictiorama Studios/PC/PC Review/point-and-click adventure/Reviews

The point-and-click adventure genre has seen some solid releases over the last year, and Dead Synchronicity: Tomorrow Comes Today is another solid example of the genre. The dark, dystopian atmosphere is well-realised through the handful of hours it takes to reach the story’s conclusion. A conclusion however, that did its…

Let’s talk about the PlayStation 4’s potential to be the finest console ever

May 5, 2015

Opinion/PlayStation 4/Sony

The PlayStation 4 turns 18 months old this month. It’s been a whirlwind 18 months, but I know I couldn’t go without the console now. It has done everything that I expected a games console to do with plug-and-play ease of use, and then has an expanding range of media…

Ever feel like there was a lack of cat videos and images on the Internet? Petcube could very well be the solution to that problem for you. Now, I say this with a grin on my face, since we all know that the powerhouse that is YouTube was built on…

Review: Monster Combine TD (Nintendo 3DS)

May 4, 2015

3DS/3DS Review/Collavier Corporation/Monster Combine TD/Nintendo/Reviews/Tower Defense

Seeing release after the unyielding barrage of downloadable tower defence games has declined somewhat, Collavier’s Monster Combine TD does a decent job of standing out from its hundreds of peers. Though it borrows the general format of Plants vs. Zombies and hardly endeavours to perfect the genre, Monster Combine relies…

It’s not often that free-to-play mobile games are truly exciting, but over in Japan (where the market is far more receptive to them, it must be said), there are a range of mobile games that have been worth getting excited for. SEGA’s Chain Chronicle and DeNA’s Final Fantasy: Record Keeper…

Preview: Legends of Eisenwald (PC)

May 4, 2015

Early Access/Legends of Eisenwald/PC/Preview/Strategy/tactics game

I’m a huge fan of strategy games that can keep me occupied for hours and days on end. Legends of Eisenwald was something of a curiosity as it finds itself different to both turned-based strategy titles such as Heroes of Might and Magic, or the various tactics games and 4X…
