Aussie readers of DDNet, have we got a treat for you! (Note: this competition is only open to Australian residents.

Read MoreWhether you are a fan of the spiky-haired, yelling combatants of the Dragon Ball universe or not, you would have to realise that the staying power of the series over the years has been impressive. Dragon Ball Xenoverse marks the first foray for the series onto the newest generation of…
Read MoreSitting back and watching a couple Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes with English subtitles sounds easy enough. After all, it’s an anime based on one of the most popular trading card games in the world. Heck, the franchise is so omnipresent that it spawned spin-offs that collectively span over 700 episodes, rivaling the likes…
Read MoreUnder Night In-Birth Exe:Late hurts my hands to play, and I’m not entirely sure it’s worth it. The latest 2D brawler from French Bread and Arc System Works is fast, furious, and complex to a fault, and whether that is a good thing depends greatly on just how many of…
Read MoreAnyone serious about their games spends a lot of time and money on trying to bring out the best in our experiences.
