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: Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoners: Soul Hackers

September 24, 2013

Atlus/JRPG/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Nippon Ichi Software/Reviews/Shin Megami Tensei/Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoners Soul Hackers

Review by Matt S. “Why am I reviewing this game now?”, many of our readers will ask. After all, it’s been available in the US and Japan for quite some time. Unfortunately Shim Megami Tensei: Devil Summoners: Soul Hackers took its sweet time to hit Aussie and European shelves. But…

Review: Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl (3DS)

September 24, 2013

3DS Review/Atlus/dungeon crawl/Etrian Odyssey/Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millenium Girl/JRPG/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/Wizardry

This has been a really good year for the Nintendo 3DS – doubly so if you are a fan of RPG titles. Shin Megami Tensei IV is still fresh in my mind as I had a chance to play another dungeon crawling RPG. In fact, it was not that long…

Exploitation or humour; let’s talk about Dead or Alive 5

Dead or Alive/Dead or Alive 5/exploitation/Opinion/sexism

Article by Matt S. $60. If you’re going to buy the complete set of optional downloadable costumes available for Dead or Alive 5 (that being all the costumes released for the previous versions of the games, Dead or Alive 5 and Dead or Alive 5 + on the Vita), you’re…

Review: Tactical Space Command (iPad)

September 23, 2013

Apple/Harpoon/iOS/iPad/Reviews/Strategy/Tactical Space Command

Have you ever played Harpoon? Possibly not, it’s a rather old game and even when it was new it was a niche within a niche. But if you’re a fan of strategy games then Harpoon, even now, is an accurate simulation of real military strategy and conflict. It’s also clearly…

Disney Infinity Toy Box on iOS; everyone (including Nintendo) should pay attention to this

September 23, 2013

Apple/Disney/Disney Infinity/iOS/Opinion/second screen experience

Over the last couple of weeks Disney has released a few “companion apps” to its rather wonderful Disney Infinity console game. The first of these was a little throwaway. Action! Was clearly designed for kids who have been dragged away on a trip and whose parents didn’t want to spend…

Review: Tiny Death (iPhone)

Apple/Free-to-play/iOS/iPhone/platformer/review/Reviews/The Game Atelier

Review by Chris I. When you jump into one of Game Atelier’s games, you rest assured that you’ll find a gaming experience that’s delightful to the senses, with signature colourful visuals and upbeat tunes. In its latest release, Tiny Death, the team have created an awesome leading character; a squashed…

Thank you to everyone that has participated in the Japanese games research survey so far! It closes at the end of this weekend, so if you haven’t participated yet, this is your last chance. But of course, we want to give back, so we’ve got a bunch of games to…

Review: Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs (PC)

September 20, 2013

Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs/Frictional Games/PC Review/review/The Chinese Room

Review by V8Ninja. Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs was not developed by Frictional Games. Rather, the game was developed by The Chinese Room. The Chinese Room’s resume only features one video game, which was Dear Esther. While I cannot judge any of the claims, many individuals criticised Dear Esther for…

Review: Letter Challenge (3DS)

September 20, 2013

3DS/casual games/DSiWare/Letter Challenge/Nintendo/Reviews

Review by Joseph L. Letter Challenge is a straightforward edutainment game for the Nintendo’s DSi service that anyone can enjoy. The simplistic layout and limited content is perfect for players of all ages who want to kill some time and test their spelling skills. Right off the bat I’m going…

Review: Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix (PS3)

September 19, 2013

action RPG/Disney/JRPG/Kingdom Hearts/Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Square Enix

Review by Matt S. Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix was a good idea by Square Enix. This is a series that has become utterly incomprehensible for any player who hasn’t kept up with each new release over the years, and so packaging three of the more critical stories together will…
