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: Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival (Nintendo 3DS)

card game/CCG/digital CCG/Konami/Reviews/Yu-Gi-Oh/Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival

Review by Matt S. It seems really strange for a collectible card game (CCG) to be an exclusively single player experience. After all, we are talking about a genre in which a core part of the appeal is in pitching wits against a real human being. CCGs are at heart…

Review by Matt S. Secret Files: Tunguska has been around for a long time now. First released in 2006 on to PC, the game also made its way to the Nintendo Wii and DS in 2008. Now, six years later, it’s available on the iPad and iPhone. I’ve been a…

Review: Strike Force Foxx (Nintendo 3DS)

2D shooter/3DS/Big John Games/Choplifter/Nintendo/Retro/Reviews/Strike Force Foxx

Review by Clark A. If Strike Force Foxx doesn’t take you back to the eighties, you didn’t live them. Or maybe you just didn’t consume popular American culture, but surely such frivolous sweeping statements must always be taken at face value. At any rate, it’s a competent 2D shooter that…

Review: Dark Souls 2 (Microsoft Xbox 360)

Review by Shaan J. Unlike Matt and Nick, when they reviewed of the PlayStation 3 and PC versions of the game (respectively), I come to Dark Souls 2 with much less experience of the series, though that doesn’t mean that I’m left entirely in the dark. I’ve dabbled with both…

DLC Review: Europa Universalis IV: Res Publica (PC)

DLC/DLC Review/Europa Universalis/Europa Universalis IV/grand strategy/PC/Res Publica/Reviews/Strategy

Review by Matt S. Res Publica is the smallest piece of (paid) DLC for Europa Universalis IV so far. Coming after the extensive Conquest of Paradise and Wealth of Nations DLC packages, Res Publica might even feel like a downer at first, but while it lacks bells and whistles, it’s…

Film review: 009-1: The End of the Beginning

009-1/009-1: The End of the Beginning/B-grade/exploitation/film/film review

Review by Matt S. Exploitation cinema is a constant across the world. It doesn’t really matter if the film comes from America, Japan, Europe, or Australia, you’re going to get much the same thing, regardless where they come from. Exploitation films are short – and would be much shorter if…

News by Jedediah H. Served to you on a radiating platter of spectacle from the same staff responsible for the Soul Calibur and Tekken series, Rise of Incarnates is a free-to-play PC fighting game predicted to release later in 2014. But before the game is unleashed upon the battle-ready populace,…

Gadget/Gadget Review/Hardware/Hardware Review/Lightpack

Review by Nick H. Ambient lighting for a computer or television display has been a popular idea for some time now. Just a quick Google search turns up a tonne of options, many of which are of the do it yourself variety. Lightpack is a professional system to bring ambient…

Review by Harvard L. Ask anyone – if they had to pick the single genre which represents the indie gaming movement the most, it’s likely that the answer will unanimously be “puzzle platformer”, or the equally tiresome “puzzle platformer, with a twist”. It’s hard to not be jaded in 2014…

News by Matt S. Japanese game development favourite, GUST, has been shut up as a business as part of Koei Tecmo’s acquisition of the company. But don’t worry, the GUST developers will continue to do what they have always been doing – it’s just that they’ll be doing it as…
