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…

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…

The weekly discussion: Do you Let’s Play (or watch them)?

July 6, 2013
The weekly discussion/weekly chat

Let’s Plays are becoming more and more popular over on that YouTube site thing. For whatever reason there’s something quite entertaining about watching another player play through your favourite game. For other people, Let’s Plays are a useful resource in working out how to get through a tough boss for…

July 5, 2013
Friday 10s/Metal Gear Solids/Top 10

Everyone likes a top-10 list. They’re a bit of fun, and always good for discussion. And so each week we pull together a “top 10” list. These are here for fun and laughs – we’re not pretending that we’re the authority of good games taste in the world and this…

Apple/Cover Orange/Cover Orange 2/FDG Games/iOS/physics puzzler/Reviews

Cover Orange 2 tasks players with covering oranges to protect them from a raincloud wearing a viking helmet. No really. As odd as FDG’s Cover Orange sequel is, it’s also an engaging and addictive puzzle game that you may find yourself pouring much of your free time into. Okay, first,…

Review: Blood Knights (PS3)

July 4, 2013
action RPG/Blood Knights/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/PS3/review/Reviews/Sony

It took me all of five minutes to realise I was not going to enjoy my time with Blood Knights. In that first five minutes I was led through a tutorial dungeon which, in most games, introduces the characters and sets up the narrative by introducing a conflict. But at…

This week on BG- news about the upcoming San Diego Comic Con was free flowing as the mega-show rapidly approaches, we took a peek at MoMA in NYC’s seriously upgraded gaming collection and released the floodgates of insanity with our hands on preview of Saints Row IV. The SDCC is…

Microsoft (possibly) hires woman as new Xbox head; morons call it a PR stunt

July 4, 2013
Julie Larson-Green/Microsoft/Microsoft Xbox 360/Xbox 360

Given the sudden resignation of Don Mattrick earlier this week from Microsoft’s Xbox business we all knew that the gaming giant would soon name a replacement. That replacement could well be Julie Larson-Green. That’s right, a woman. And in a move that will probably surprise no one, let’s have a…

The Wii U’s failures (so far) are the best thing to happen to Nintendo

July 4, 2013
Nintendo/Nintendo Wii U/Opinion

Two things are very apparent; Nintendo’s Wii U is never going to be the relative success of its greatest selling consoles – the Wii, SNES and various handheld devices. It’s also not going to bankrupt the company. It is, in fact, very likely that the device ends up being like…

Back when Digitally Downloaded ran a second website, Otaku Gaming, we reviewed a little Japan-only from Konami called New Love Plus. This was a 3DS sequel to a wildly popular DS game, and evidently the 3DS sequel was popular enough to justify a sequel, New Love Plus +. For the…

Review: Time and Eternity (PS3)

Imageepoch/JRPG/NISA/Otaku/PlayStation 3/PS3/Reviews/Sony/Time and Eternity

Time and Eternity is one of the most unique JRPGs I have ever played. Given that I’ve played a lot of JRPGs that’s a pretty impressive feat. As a disclaimer up-front, this is a game that has been getting shocking reviews from many corners, and if you’re keen to read that…

Review: Urban Trial Freestyle (3DS)

eShop/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Racing/Reviews/Urban Trial Freestyle

My time with Urban Trial Freestyle has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to have fun with it or it’s the work of a group of sadists that take great pleasure in leaving me frustrated. If there’s one game that resembles…
