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 Nick H. At first glance, Conception II might not look like it is anything special. The story itself is as tried and true as almost any other JRPG as you assume the role of a chosen one with incredible power that will join forces with others to save…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Look! Up in the sky! Is it Metroid? Is it Castlevania? No, it’s a cheap imitation starring Batman! That’s the general feel while playing Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate on the PS3, updated from the Vita/ 3DS title of last year. I was personally excited for this…

Read MoreReview by Matt S. It’s hard to consider Final Fantasy XIV a true new release. Where you could argue that Tomb Raider or the upcoming re-release of The Last Of Us on PlayStation 4 require so much work that they deserve to be treated as original releases, Final Fantasy XIV…
Read MoreReview by Zane M. It is the year 2014. Smallpox has been eradicated. The invention of the internet has enabled us to have access to the sum of human knowledge at the push of a button. Gay marriage has been increasingly more legalised in the Western world and progressives are…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. Killzone: Shadow Fall was one of the two exclusives available on the PlayStation 4 at launch (the other being the rather terrible Knack), and as a competent shooter, it has remained high on the PS4 playlist for many since. The The Insurgent Pack DLC pack adds…
