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 Matt S. Credit where credit is due; Rovio is not simply letting its hero franchise have its 15 minutes of fame before bowing out. Consider Call of Duty or Halo; the developers wouldn’t dream of taking the formula that made these games so popular, and building something as…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Cube Tactics is a curious and entertaining blend of a 2D straight lined Tower Defense styled game with RTS elements in a cubelike 3D world. The game starts off on a charming note with the introduction from the greatest Cube Master – Sir Knight who will…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. We’ve reviewed Pure Chess in the past. It’s been across just about every game platform I own now, in fact, and the standard has been astronomical across the board (hah, there’s a pun for you in the opening paragraph). The Wii U version is the latest…

Read MoreReview by Chris I. On a remote space station floating just above Earth’s atmosphere, some of the brightest minds have come together for the ultimate experiment: breaking down the barriers of the space-time continuum to open the galaxies for leisurely space travel. The risks were always high and the unexpected…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. I can’t believe that it’s taken me so long to discover the Inazuma Eleven franchise. Well, actually, I know why it’s taken me so long to discover the Inazuma Eleven franchise; it’s hasn’t exactly been given the highest profile out of Japan in the past. Because…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Infinity Wars is a game that caught our attention at a very early stage in its development. When we previewed it, it was buggy and somewhat poorly balanced, but it had a soul and X-factor and we just knew that at some point it would become…
Read MoreNews by Matt S. Sacred 3’s been a long time coming, but we were finally promised a late 2014 release in an announcement a couple of weeks ago. There was much rejoicing amongst those that enjoyed Sacred 2, but there was little by way of new media to get us…
