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…
Review by Matt S. The good old harem genre. I don’t think I’m ever going to get sick of it, for the simple reason that it’s insane. It’s silly, it’s irreverant and, yeah, it’s on the embarassing side of ‘sexy,’ but ultimately I find them to be of the ‘leave…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Koei Tecmo is bringing Atelier Rorona to the Nintendo 3DS in 2015. And it may well be a different game to the JRPG classic on the PlayStation 3 and Vita. See, the Atelier Rorona on the Nintendo 3DS has a completely different art style to the…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Disney Magical World is an example of a game that takes inspiration from elsewhere, and then does its own thing with from that basis, and in the process becomes something unique and worthy in its own right. Borrowing heavily from the raw concept of Animal Crossing,…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. For the 35th anniversary of the Alien franchise, Sega and The Creative Assembly have released Alien: Isolation. I can’t think of a more perfect way to celebrate one of the most beloved sci-fi horror films ever made. The game takes place 15 years after the events…

If you were preoccupied with work, exercise, or saving your girlfriend’s sister from her mango-scented lotion addiction and missed Nintendo’s Direct live stream, take a much-deserved break, join us, and check out the video right here. From the open-world colossi admiring in…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. The 2DS is a strange beast for Nintendo handhelds as it forgoes the clamshell folding design that had worked so well with previous DS units. That design means that it needs a robust carry case to protect those previous screens from damage while out and about.…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Atlus games lend themselves well to anime adaptations, because the narratives of those games are invariably the most engaging part of them. As we saw from the Persona 4 animation, for instance, by cutting out the occasionally repetitive dungeon exploration, the overall experience, if anything, improved…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I was a big fan of the opening opus of Attack on Titan. Underneath its highly-refined popular anime art style and pacing was a series that offered something substantially more, beyond action sequences and filler between more action sequences. It still revelled in its violence, and…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Power Rangers Super Megaforce draws heavily on the long running show, its story is basic and uninspired, and most of the gameplay elements are no better. That is not to say it is a terrible game, but Power Rangers Super Megaforce is pedestrian at best, and…
