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.

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…

Opinion by Matt S. I can’t say any of the following chain of events surprised me: Dragon’s Crown gets released, and gets a positive write up from IGN, Gamespot and other sites who see it as their duty to simply tell audiences whether a game is fun or not. Polygon…

Artdink/Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z/Microsoft Xbox 360/Namco Bandai/PS Vita/PS3/Release Information/screenshots/Sony PlayStation 3/Sony PlayStation Vita/Xbox 360

We’ve got over a dozen screenshots of the upcoming Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Z game from ArtDink and Namco Bandai. There is a four player mode, and also an eight player battle royale mode, ensuring lots of crazy action. I am not sure how all of it will pan…

Nintendo’s Wii U sales for the past three months are sadly tragic

July 31, 2013

Financial results/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo Wii U

We hope Nintendo does a better jobof change than Nokia A report over at GamesIndustry.biz paints a sorry statistic for Nintendo’s Wii U console; globally it has shifted only 160,000 units over the past three months. Japan was the strongest market in relative terms for the console, selling 90,000 units…

We are quite big fans of Ragnarok Odyssey, and as such we were looking forward to the upcoming semi-sequel due to hit the PlayStation Vita later this year. We are now THAT much more excited by it. It seems the fine folks at GungHo have been busy wining and dining…

Think about all the things that make a great racing game; an intense sensation of speed, well-balanced racing lines and track design, and for party racers, a nice set of characters and unlockable weapons. That’s my list of requirements; you probably have your own. I think, however, we can all…

Lollipop Chainsaw/onechanbara

Back in Japan, Onechanbara is a pretty big deal. It’s a game about women who wear bikinis and kill zombies. As that concept no doubt suggests, Onechanbara is rather exploitative, and unlike games that do this kind of theme well, like Lollipop Chainsaw, Onechanbara also doesn’t have the self-referential humour…

I loved Strider on the NES when I was younger. It fell just behind Bionic Commando and Mega Man 2 as one of my favourite Capcom titles. Well, Strider is coming back in the first part of 2014, courtesy of Capcom and Double Helix Games. The story will follow Hiryu…

Towncraft is one of the most likable games out there simply because the developer is one that you want to succeed. If you ever want to get a sense of the trials and tribulations of being an indie developer, go and check out Flat Earth Games’ website. It’s an eye-opener,…
