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 Shaan J. After a trio of add-on expansions was first announced for Dark Souls II, I had the feeling that From Software would be dishing them out in small, bite-sized pieces of content this time, compared to the arguably meatier experience that was Artorias of the Abyss (the…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. If you’re a fan of Star Fox then Thorium Wars: Attack of the Skyfighter may be initially interesting to you, just by looking at its profile on the Nintendo eShop. This is a sequel to a DSiWare game called Thorium Wars (surprised?). It’s a space shooter…

Become acquainted with the AI lord who would see you defeated: the scowling, aggressive, unpredictable antagonist of the Stronghold series, The Wolf, returns to taunt you over the insecurities of your action plan or flat out mock you with witty hyperbole when you request his support…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. For as long as the Tales franchise has been running, it’s impressive that only two true “sequels” exist. There’s a certain appeal in revisiting the characters of a past instalment after a grand quest, but it’s also challenging to execute a story that doesn’t feel tacked…
Read MoreOpinion by Matt S. The recent release of inFamous: First Light has got me thinking. As a standalone DLC, it’s pretty good value, and it certainly has a lead character in Fetch that is an order of magnitude more interesting than the Delsin the tool. But this DLC pack also…
