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…

Atelier Escha and Logy anime? I just died and went to heaven

November 6, 2013
anime/Atelier/Atelier Escha and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky/Gust

As everyone who has read my ramblings knows, I’m a big time fan of GUST’s Atelier franchise. Atelier Escha & Logy is coming early next year, and we’ve just been hit by even better news; there’s an anime coming. Announced at the 20th anniversary celebrations at GUST, the anime series…

Square Enix’s focus on mobile and online games is paying off

Final Fantasy/Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn/Financial results/Square Enix

Some good news for Square Enix fans, but some bad news for the ‘fans’ that want Square Enix to stick to the same business models that were clearly not working for it; the company is again profitable, and it’s thanks to its new business model that is focused on online…

‘It’s too expensive’; three little words that are killing gaming

November 6, 2013
expensive/Financial results/Free-to-play/games industry/Opinion/premium service/pricing

Opinion by Matt S.  Being a compulsive Twitter user that I am, I don’t think there’s a single day (if not hour) that goes by that I don’t see the following line (or a derivative thereof) used: “game XXXX is too expensive,” or “games are too expensive.” And, in fact,…

Review: Proteus (Vita)

November 6, 2013
Art/Art Game/exploration game/Indie/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Proteus/Reviews/Sony

Review by Matt S. I sat in the middle of a ring of stones, on the top of an icy mountain. Roughly humanoid in shape these menhirs told no story of their own, and so I was left to sit there and puzzle over them. And so I sat, with…

Review: Avadon 2: The Corruption (PC)

November 6, 2013
Avadon/Avadon 2/Indie/Jeff Vogel/PC/Reviews/RPG

Review by Matt S. If you’ve ever played a Spiderweb Software game then you’ll know what the one-man (Jeff Vogel) studio does. Each of his games follows a very specific formula – isometric top-down classic RPG questing in the vein of such works of art as Baldur’s Gate. Breaking it…

Gabrielles Ghostly Groove/Natsume/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/rhythm game

Review by Matt S. The 3DS doesn’t necessarily have that many rhythm games, but those that it does have tend to be of an obscenely high quality. From Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, to Rhythm Thief and HarmoKnight, if you’re a fan of tapping along with the music then you’re well serviced…

Review: Pocket God: Ooga Jump (iPhone)

November 5, 2013
Apple/Bolt Creative/Endless jumper/iOS/iPhone/review/Reviews

Jumping right out of its sandbox, Ooga Jump takes the Pocket God franchise to new heights; literally. Developer Bolt Creative has taken advantage of what the mobile phones are best at doing to give players a new way to experience its popular franchise. While you’ve seen everything this game offers…

Call Of Duty: Ghosts represents everything that is wrong in the games industry

November 5, 2013
Art/Call of Duty/Call of Duty: Ghosts/Opinion

Opinion by Matt S. Getting this out of the way from the outset: I haven’t played Call Of Duty: Ghosts. There’s no review that’s going to go live on Digitally Downloaded once the embargo lifts, and I’ve got no inclination to buy the game. I’ve played previous Call Of Duty…

Review by Matt S.  Back when the Wii was the bee’s knees, Wii Fit was a revelation. For a relatively small investment in a balance board consumers got access to a fun little package of fitness minigames that genuinely offered a basic fitness regime that could help people lose weight…

Europa Universalis IV expansion brings on the native Americans

November 5, 2013
Europa Universalis/Europa Universalis IV/expansion/expansion pack/The Conquest of Paradise

Europa Universalis IV is without a doubt one of the finest strategy games we’ve played in some time. It’s a game that essentially offers endless depth, which is why it’s so impressive that there’s even more to come via the first (comprehensive) expansion pack. We’ve done two reviews of Europa…
