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…
Preview by Matt S. I think I’m going to enjoy Murdered: Soul Suspect. Based on the first hour or so of gameplay that I got to have hands on time with, it seems to be something genuinely creative and different. The set-up from the start is classic supernatural noire. Players…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. That game that got way too many Game of the Year awards (even though, yes, it is a really good game), is coming to the PlayStation 4. I’m not surprised that Sony has decided to earn some extra money by selling the same game, slightly prettier, to…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. In August, The Evil Within launches. A project from Mr. Resident Evil, Shinji Mikami, we’ve been promised from the outset that this would be a classic survival horror game, with emphasis on “survival” and “horror.” I’ve been a skeptic. Not because I don’t think Mikami is…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. As much as I enjoy JRPGs, I recognize that certain audiences simply can’t bear their often turn-based battle systems and gratuitous playtimes. While some will never be persuaded by the genre, playing Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga again as of one of the Wii U’s premiere…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. 3 Stars of Destiny is the latest game from indie outfit Aldorlea Games and is a prequel to its Laxius Force Trilogy (now actually a saga). It looks and feels like an RPG Maker game, but there’s a very good reason this one is sold on…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. Deception IV reminds me of bad horror movies; while you know you won’t get an incredible story, there is a certain thrill and entertainment to be had at the misfortune of others. Deception IV is about brutalising your opponents with no inhibitions. Definitely not for the…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. While I would ideally want to talk about Dragons and Titans without mentioning specific comparisons to other games, it’s quite difficult to talk about it without bringing up League of Legends and DOTA 2. You see, both Riot Games and Valve have fine-tuned and perfected the…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. When you think about Nintendo games, you’re not typically thinking “soccer simulation game.” Oh no, you’re thinking Mario Kart, or Smash Bros, or even Pokemon. But for me personally, Nintendo Pocket Football Club on the 3DS is the one to look forward to the most, and…
Read MoreReview by Clark A. Skater Cat is one of those games that has a lot going for it but somewhere along the line it forgets to finish the basics. Making the overly simple endless runner style of gameplay an invigorating one often requires some ingenuity and Skater Cat aims for…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. It’s amazing the longevity that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are showing. Even despite the existence of new consoles, both “obsolete” consoles continue to receive game announcements that are, if anything, more exciting than the next-gen stuff. Ubisoft today announced that it would publish a…
