Aussie readers of DDNet, have we got a treat for you! (Note: this competition is only open to Australian residents.

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 by Chris I. Step into a game shop and take a quick comparison between the 3DS and Vita games lineup and it’s quickly clear why it is hard to put the 3DS down these days. On the other hand, where the Vita lacks the incredible first party support that…

Review: The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2 – Smoke and Mirrors (Xbox 360)

Review by Nick H. Telltale Games sure knows how to put together an entertaining story, I will give them that one right out of the gates. The Wolf Among Us is following the same formula that The Walking Dead established previously which tasks players with following a narrative-heavy experience. Telltale…

News by Matt S. Have you heard of developers, Supercell? What about Clash Of Clans? I thought that one would ring a bell. The game that took the crown for “poster child of iOS gaming” has been doing very well for its parent. According to a report on Gamasutra, we…

Goat Simulator might become the greatest game of all time

News by Matt S. It all started out as a joke. Coffee Stain Studios released on YouTube some silly footage of “Goat Simulator,” a clear satire of the massive number of “simulator” games (such as Farming Simulator), that appear to be on very mundane themes indeed. Because the Internet has…

News by Matt S. The PlayStation 4 is just about to launch in Japan, and Famitsu has done its reviews of the first batch of PS4 games. The three games with the highest scores? Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends, Yakuza: Ishin, and Tomb Raider. Meanwhile Nobunaga’s Ambition: Creation got the…

Opinion by Matt S. So I finally got around to picking up a PlayStation 4 (side note to other Australians, you still need to preorder for shipments at EB Games. Who knows when the console will be available on the shelves). That in turn meant that my first PlayStation 4…

Review by Matt S. What does it mean that I prefer the “Monster Hunter clones” to the actual Monster Hunter games? I was thoroughly entertained by Soul Sacrifice, released on the PlayStation Vita not long ago, and I am absolutely compelled by Tecmo Koei’s Toukiden. I know I’ve just committed blasphemy…

Opinion by Matt S. If you had a PlayStation Portable or PlayStation 3, then at some point you probably bought yourself a PlayStation Minis game. In fact, if you’re anything like me then you probably acquired quite a few of them. Before PlayStation Mobile, and before the PlayStation Network was…

News by Matt S. Who doesn’t like Worms? While it can be argued that the venerable franchise hasn’t done enough to modernise and reinvent itself over the years, the announcement of next-gen Worms is certainly worth celebrating. And that’s precisely what Team17 has done. Worms Battlegrounds will hit PlayStation 4…

Assassin’s Creed IV sells well, but Ubisoft total sales down

Assassin's Creed/Financial results/sales figures/Ubisoft

News by Matt S. Assassin’s Creed IV hit Ubisoft’s expectations with 10 million units shipped, according to the company’s third quarter financial report. Just Dance 2014 also performed strongly at six million units, but the news aside from those two titles was not as rosy for the publisher. For the…
