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: Elex II (Sony PlayStation 5)

I’m not sure there’s ever a precisely right time to release a…

Review: Gran Turismo 7 (Sony PlayStation 5)

I really wish I loved anything as much as Yamauchi Kazunori loves…

Review: Super Motherload (PS4)

November 19, 2013
Dig Dug/PlayStation/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Retro/Reviews/Sony/Sony PlayStation 4/Super Motherload/XGenStudios

Review by Nick H.  So when I first heard about Super Motherload, I was at a bit of a loss. It is not often that a new console release relies on a nearly seven year old Flash game as the basis of a launch title, but that is essentially what…

Review: Oceanhorn: Monster of Uncharted Seas (iPad)

November 19, 2013
adventure game/adventure games/Apple/iOS/iPad/Oceanhorn/Reviews

Review by Matt S.  I suspect this game is going to annoy Nintendo fans. Without crossing into plagiarism, Oceanhorn is a faithful recreation of the basic Zelda aesthetic and gameplay structure, and not only that but it brings more new ideas to the famous formula than most modern Zelda games…

Review: Deadfall Adventures (PC)

November 19, 2013
Deadfall Adventures/FPS/lost word adventure/PC/Reviews

Review by Michael B. Although it may have been conceived as a standard action-filled plot, the story of Deadfall Adventures belongs firmly in the “lost world” fiction sub-genre. For those unfamiliar, the lost world genre involves the discovery of a city or location that has been forgotten. The two easiest…

Review: A-Men 2 (Vita)

November 18, 2013
A-Men 2/action puzzle/Bloober Team/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Puzzle Game/Reviews/Sony/Sony PlayStation Vita/Vita Review

Review by Nick H. The first A-Men was a title that caught me completely unprepared when it first came out. It was listed as a strategy game, but it also blended in some light platforming. Also, when I think of strategy I tend to think more of tactics title such…

Review: Chuck’s Challenge 3D (PC)

Chip's Challenge/Chuck's Challenge/Desura/Niffler/PC/puzzle/Reviews

Review by Clark A. Ever since wandering the caves of Pokémon Red and Blue I’ve had a fascination with solving puzzles by navigating an avatar across grid-like spaces. Basic as the puzzles may have been, just sliding on ice and pushing boulders about made my younger self giddy. Though several…

Review: Madden 25 (PS4)

November 18, 2013
Electronic Arts/Madden 25/PlayStation/PS4 Review/Sony/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Nick H.  The Madden football series has a very long history, something that EA celebrated with the title of this year’s release as well as in many of the game’s loading screens. I enjoyed Madden 25 when it came out on the PlayStation 3 earlier this year. It proved…

Review: Blood Knights (Xbox 360)

November 18, 2013
Blood Knights/Diablo clone/Kalypso/Microsoft Xbox 360/Reviews/RPG/Xbox 360/Xbox 360 Review

Review by Nick H.  Blood Knights is one of those games that is a little difficult for me to get a handle on, because I walked away from it feeling as though I enjoyed it more than I probably should have. There are some good ideas, even if none are…

Video review: Stick It To The Man (PS3)

November 18, 2013
adventure game/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Sony/Stick It To The Man/Video/Video review

Review by Matt S.  You would expect a game that has been written by the guy that did Adventure Time to be a little crazy, and Stick It To The Man is indeed a little crazy. It’s a game that really revels in being self aware and providing quite juvenile…

Interview by Matt S.  Of all the third party developers working on the Nintendo Wii U, there is one that stands out as going out of its way to take the unique features of the console; the Australian porting house, Straight Right. When the Wii U launched Straight Right gave…

Hardware Review: The PlayStation 4

November 16, 2013
PlayStation/PS4/PS4 Review/Sony/Sony PlayStation 4

Review by Nick H. The PlayStation 4 is a very serious-looking piece of hardware with a great deal of potential. At launch, however, it does feels somewhat unrealised. For a system that claims it is all about the games, the release would have felt a little bit stronger if it…
