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: Race The Sun (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 29, 2014

endless runner/Indie/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Race the Sun/Reviews

Review by Matt S. Beneath its gorgeous minimalist aesthetic, Race the Sun is a simple 3D runner game. It’s disappointing, because it actually could have been more than that. In the game players control an aircraft with no real vertical control. They can swerve left or right, but that’s it.…

Gadget Review: Kingston HyperX FURY 64GB USB 3.0

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Kingston/Kingston HyperX FURY 64GB USB 3.0/Memory/USB Drive

Review by Nick H. There is not a lot of sizzle to be had when talking about portable memory, but there are a handful of key things to look for such as ease of use, reliability and speed. We had a chance to try out the 64GB Kingston HyperX FURY…

Australia’s arguably appealing packaging for the New Nintendo 3DS XL

October 28, 2014

3DS/Australia/News/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS XL

News by Jedediah H. For most of my clueless life, I’ve been swarmed by propaganda claiming that “bigger is better”: A bigger truck makes for bigger manpower (not horsepower), a bigger house makes for and reflects bigger social clout, and a bigger foot means, well, a bigger imprint on your…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. I remember having a conversation with a few friends about the rise of MMOs and MOBAs about the idea that couch gaming was disappearing. I said it was sad that everything was moving more and more online (other than the obscure RPGs and JRPGs out there,…

Anime review: Kill La Kill Vol 01 (DVD)

October 28, 2014

action/anime/anime review/DVD/Kill la Kill

Review by Matt S. I know I’m late to the party with Kill La Kill, but I was aware of the controversial reputation that the series had before I put the disc into my DVD drive. It took me around five minutes to understand why. This is a series that…

Review: Prophour23 (PC)

October 28, 2014

Indie/PC/PC Review/Prophour23/Reviews/RTS/The Secret Pie/Tower defence

Review by Harvard L. Prophour23 may bill itself as a casual Real Time Strategy, but after playing it for a while I can honestly recommend it as one of the best mystery games I’ve played in a while. This is a game where discovery is the key to victory and…

Gadget Review: Kingston HyperX Skyn Mouse Pad

Gadget/Gadget Review/Gaming Pad/Hardware/Hardware Review/Kingston/Kingston HyperX Skyn Mouse Pad/mouse pad

Review by Nick H. I find myself continually surprised by slight tweaks and innovations from established hardware products. A few years ago I would have simply said that a mouse pad was a mouse pad and most only different in either colour or shape. However, Kingston, while known for its…

Preview by Pierre-Yves L. Second chances are not something that come around everyday. Unfortunately earlier this year, Neverland had to close its doors even after the release of the successful Rune Factory 4. Within the same year, Two Tribes almost suffered the same fate. Thankfully Two Tribes was one of…

Review: F1 2014 (Sony PlayStation 3)

Codemasters/F1/F1 2014/PlayStation 3/PS3 Review/Racing Game/Reviews

Review by Matt S. I was absolutely mystified that F1 2014 was exclusive to last generation consoles and PC. Surely, with all developers now effectively moving their franchises to the next gen consoles, Codemasters needed to at least release a “HD” version of the game on the PS4 and Xbox…

Review: The Evil Within (Sony PlayStation 4)

October 27, 2014

bethesda/Horror/PlayStation/PS4 Review/Reviews/Shinji Mikami/Survival Horror/Tango Gameworks/The Evil Within

Review by David W. It’s becoming increasingly rare to see a game that fully innovates within its genre, instead of merely borrowing and adapting what has worked before. The Evil Within comes at a time of resurgence in the survival horror category. Several recent releases, whilst attempting to capture the…
