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: FIFA 15 (Sony PlayStation 4)

EA Sports/FIFA 15/Football/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/Soccer/Sony PlayStation 4/sports game

Review by Nick H. FIFA is not a series I have had as much exposure to compared to the likes of Madden, but over the last few years I have really come to appreciate not just the real-world sport, but what a spectacular job EA Sports does in recreating the…

Anime Impressions: Terra Formars

October 7, 2014

action/anime/anime impressions/Crunchyroll/dystopian/First Impressions/Terra Formars

Impressions by Clark A. Balancing heavy-handed death scenes with comedy in anime seems as if it’s a herculean task at times. Dark juxtaposition can work brilliantly when executed appropriately, but I typically don’t care for trivialising serious affairs by having characters undersell heart wrenching situations with cheery or unmoved demeanours.…

News by Clark A. The launch of the New Nintendo 3DS is later this week – in Japan anyway – and it would seem Nintendo is revving up the handheld with a firmware update in preparation. The ninth major iteration of the operating system marks Nintendo’s foray into paid, customisable…

Review by Matt S. I like a good, classic, dungeon crawler, and thanks to the wonders of Steam, my laptop has a bunch of ’em sitting on it. From the original Wizardry games through to innovative indies doing spectacular things with the genre with titles such as Legend of Grimrock,…

EB Expo 2014: Hands-on with Battlefield Hardline

Battlefield Hardline/EA/EB Expo 2014/FPS/Hands-On Impressions/impressions

Impressions by Harvard L. It’s past the time in the First Person Shooter (FPS) genre’s lifetime that critics are starting to question whether each new title is necessary. We’ve pushed technical innovations so far that there’s not much more room upwards to go – FPS gameplay is slicker than ever.…

Article by Matt S. Every time that I take a trip to Japan, my purchases end up following a theme, based on whatever I’m most interested in (as souveneirs) at the time. The first time I visited it was video games and I ended bringing back a pile of Nintendo…

Review: NAtURAL DOCtRINE (Sony PlayStation Vita)

hard game/JRPG/Kadokawa Games/Natural Doctrine/NISA/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Reviews/Strategy/Tactics RPG/Vita Review

Review by Matt S. So, let’s talk about Dark Souls (yes, this is a review for different game, but bear with me). In Dark Souls you play as a character that is hopelessly out of his/ her depth in a hellish world of demons and the undead. Slowly but surely,…

Impressions by Sam M. When I was lining up to play Evolve at the EB Games Expo, I got pulled out of the queue as I wasn’t in a group. I had a few minutes to meet my teammates, and then we were sent in to face the Kraken. For…

Ar Nosurge/Ar Nosurge: Ode to an Unborn Star/Gust/JRPG/Koei Tecmo/PlayStation 3 Review/PS3 Review/Reviews/RPG

Review by Jedediah H. As a species, we crave human warmth and face-to-face interaction. Be it with a good friend, a romantic partner, or the fire-fighter who’s always clad in sweet aroma (and nothing else), we need some consistency of human contact, whether it’s a sharing of beverages that leads…
