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…
It’s that time of year again! As we get close to the end of the year we take the votes to figure out what the best games of 2013 were. Now, I know what you’re thinking “why so early in the year? The really big games haven’t been released yet!”…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. I’ve developed a lot of respect for QubicGames after playing AiRace: Speed. We’ve all flown planes through tunnels in one game or another, so much so that it can hardly be called a fresh gameplay experience. AiRace takes the familiar gameplay of these titles and gives…
Read MoreArticle by Matt S. If you’re a soccer (football, futbol, etc etc) fan like I am, then this is a great time of year. For whatever reason, both EA and Konami release their respective instalments into their soccer franchises right next to one another, and as these two are the…
Read MoreInterview by Matt S. Recently we reviewed Irritum, a game that had its fair share of faults, but one thing was undeniable; its concept came from a very serious, and very dark place. And in making a game about suicide, the developer, Nick Padgett, has furthered the idea that games…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. I was able to get some hands-on time with Tecmo Koei and Keiji Inafune’s upcoming Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. It’s a game that didn’t really appeal to me beforehand – it’s another zombie game, after all. But then I started to play and something happened. I…
Read MoreWe love Might & Magic: Duel of Champions at Digitally Downloaded. In fact, true story – on those nights where my extreme insomnia has me awake at 1am in the morning, the timing has been just perfect for some heated battles of cards with Nick from our US team. So…
Read MoreReview by Andrew M. I grew up on console gaming, especially loving the fighting game genre. Sinking many hours with my mates into Mortal Kombat on the SNES, Street Fighter on the SEGA Mega Drive and Super Smash Bros on the Nintendo 64, it started a huge appreciation for the…
Read MoreThe Crazy Chicken series (or Moorhuhn as it is known elsewhere) is one that lends itself perfectly to the iPad given its sheer popularity and success amongst casual gamers. A shooting gallery game seems even more appropriate given the iPad’s screen size and touch screen input. Sure enough, Crazy Chicken…
Read MoreThe folks at Nnooo have been busy. It has only been a few short months since the developer announced it was taking a step into publishing in order to bring Cubemen 2 to the Wii U. Now it has taken on its second publishing project; the very high quality Aussie…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Thank goodness EA got this one right. After the free-to-play travesty otherwise known as Madden 25 on the iPad I was so very concerned that FIFA 14 would be similarly depressing when it was announced to be a free-to-play game. But it isn’t. In fact, this…
