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. Australia’s Torus Games is a specialist in licensed games. Over its long history (which has extended as far back as the original Game Boy), the studio hasn’t been responsible for what you could call classic games, but it has done a better job than many other…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. It has been far too long since we have been accompanied on a puzzle adventure by a harrowing, sometimes crazy, omniscient narrator. Stealth Inc 2 is brought to us by Curve Digital, and is exclusive to the Wii U. There is a simple premise behind the…
Read MoreReview by Rob P. I’m not much good at selfies. There’s the unappealing subject matter, for a start. Then there are the technical problems. Snap a shot with your phone’s front camera, and you inevitably get an off-centre view of a bit of your face and a lot of your…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Some games look to hook you with a deep storyline. Others try to rely on polished or innovative mechanics. Others, like sports titles, are yearly releases that have some small updates and try to build on progress made from one year prior. Just Dance 2015 is…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. It takes very little time to figure out what inspired Lords of the Fallen (it’s Dark Souls). However, there is a fine line between imitation being a form of flattery or simply aping another game’s successful design without understanding really what made the original such a…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. There is so very much to love about Legend of Grimrock 2, for it is dungeon crawling at its best on the PC. It mixes plenty of old school mechanics with a modernised interface to create a game that recalls what made me fall in love…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Battle Islands is the kind of game that it would have been nice to have never seen on the PlayStation 4. Doing almost nothing different to the likes of Clash of Clans, the game’s all about waiting, waiting, and then spending money so you don’t need…
Read MoreList by Jim S. November is traditionally the time where the biggest games of the year are released, so that they can capitalise on the all-important Christmas sales period. This year is no different. There are so many big games being released in November that there is no possible way…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Whoever was involved in the visual direction of Shadow Warrior deserves a massive raise. There is no game that is more fundamentally beautiful on the PlayStation 4 than Shadow Warrior’s remake. I found myself spamming the “share” button on the PlayStation 4 controller with every new…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I feel a little sorry for Toys for Bob, the developers of the Skylanders franchise. After coming up with what was nothing short of a brilliant commercial idea (a game that relies on collectible miniatures!) Skylanders proved itself to be too popular. Now Skylanders needs to…
