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: Joe Dever’s Lone Wolf (iPad)

Apple/Gamebook/iOS/iPad/iPhone/Joe Dever/Joe Dever's Lone Wolf/Lone Wolf/Reviews

Review by Matt S.  Of all the nostalgic trips I’ve have on my iPad, Lone Wolf could have been the mightiest of all. As a kid I bought, read and reread Joe Dever’s fantasy choose-your-own-adventure games more than anything else I read, I suspect. As Fighting Fantasy was proving to…

Microsoft held a party for the dedicated fans of the Xbox (and the media) as it counted down to the midnight launch of the Xbox One in Australia. This event took place at the iconic Luna Park in Australia, and featured plenty of music, games, and alcohol for all who…

Review: Baldur’s Gate 2 Enhanced Edition (PC)

November 21, 2013
Atari/Baldur's Gate/Baldur's Gate 2/Beamdog/BioWare/Dungeons and Dragons/PC/Reviews/RPG

Review by Matt S.  Not that much has been done to this re-release of Baldur’s Gate 2. But then not much needed to be done; it’s as close to the perfect game as games come. Now on a personal level I prefer BioWare’s first Baldur’s Gate game. Back when I…

Review: Galaxy Factions (iPad)

Apple/Free-to-play/freemium/Galaxy Factions/iOS/iPad/iPhone/Reviews/Strategy

Review by Sam M.  In yet another casual strategy game for tablets, Galaxy Factions tasks you with commanding an outpost that has been charged in getting rid of the pirate colonies that have illegally settled nearby. Galaxy Factions takes the basic attack and defense formula we’ve seen before, and tries…

Review: Contrast (PS3)

November 20, 2013
Art/Art Game/Contrast/platformer/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Rain/Reviews/Sony

Review by Matt S.  Until I played Contrast I wasn’t interested in it. That changed about three minutes after I started playing. This is a deeply intelligent game, and yet another example of a wonderfully emerging class of games that maintain artistic credibility while also offering genuine production values. Rain,…

Review: Skydive: Proximity Flight (PS3)

extreme sports/Gaijin Games/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/PSN/review/Reviews/Sony/Sports

Review by Chris I.  Do you remember that your PlayStation 3 controller features Sixaxis motion controls? I thought about as much; thoughts of Lair still send shivers down my spine to this very day and I’m glad that most developers ignored the Sixaxis controls thereafter. Gaijin Games’ Skydive: Proximity Flight…

Hands on with World Of Tanks Xbox 360 edition

Beta/Hands-On Impressions/Microsoft/Microsoft Xbox 360/Preview/World Of Tanks/Xbox 360

Preview by Matt S.  World Of Tanks is often held up as the pinnacle of free-to-play gaming, as a perfect example of a game that is balanced enough to be profitable for the developer, while not forcing players to shell out real money in order to be competitive. Having not…

Feature by Matt S.  Newtown, Sydney; there couldn’t be a more appropriate place to talk about an art game and a broader games industry that has just recently opened up in a meaningful fashion to innovative game developers. Newtown is in many ways the centre of alternative arts and cultures…
