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)

Review: Splash or Crash (3DS)

3DS/casual games/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/Splash or Crash

Poisoft must be over the moon. The little Japanese development studio was founded in 2008 and just five years later it’s become a partner for Nintendo. And not just that, it’s managed to do so by developing a mobile phone game – a genre Nintendo constantly criticises. Splash or Crash…

Review: Dungeon Plunder (iPad)

Apple/Dungeon Plunder/iOS/iPad/iPad Review/Reviews/Roguelike

The term ‘roguelike’ gets used quite a bit. My son has even heard of and used it – though he does not know what it refers to. I actually sat down and explained to him what the game Rogue was. I was pretty young myself when that title came out…

Review: Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory (PS3)

March 18, 2013
Hyperdimension Neptunia/Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory/JRPG/Otaku RPG/PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Reviews/Sony

Over the course of the first two Hyperdimension Neptunia games, Compile Heart found itself with a very niche hit franchise. While Activision isn’t about to dump Call of Duty to develop a knock-off of this series as its new yearly release, Compile Heart and American publisher, Nippon Ichi Software America,…

Review: Gears of War: Judgement (Xbox 360)

Confession time! This is my first Gears game. I like Japanese games, and it’s really hard to think of a game more alien to the Japanese design sensibilities than this one. This series has always struck me as utterly macho as only American aesthetics can allow and about as elegant…

The eternal depths of the zombie hell must have just frozen over – Capcom and Valve have teamed up to bring crossover DLC between Resident Evil 6 and Left 4 Dead 2. Yes, you did just read that. On April 5, Resident Evil 6 PC owners will find that several…

Review: Liberation Maiden (iPad)

March 18, 2013
Apple/bullet hell/Goichi Suda/iPad/Liberation Maiden/Reviews

Goichi Suda has always been a difficult game developer to review. Do we, as critics, reward his ambition, or focus on the inevitable gameplay flaws that work into his games? For me personally, it’s somewhere in between. With some games, such as Lollipop Chainsaw, I consider the message that the…

The Vita is picking up where the PSP left off; it’s all up from here

March 17, 2013
Hyperdimension Neptunia/Opinion/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Sony

Today’s announcement that not one, but three Hyperdimension games are headed to the PlayStation Vita (no word on a Western localisation, but surely…) is further evidence that the Vita is just now hitting its stride. Though the console never really took off in the west, the PSP was a big…

Interview: AMD Australia country manager: “Steam Box is win-win for everyone”

March 17, 2013
AMD/Interview/Interviews/PC/Steambox/Valve

The PC games market has gone through a period of significant change over the past few years. Valve’s Steam platform has become so powerful that when Gabe Newell voiced displeasure with Windows 8, people listened. It was inevitable, then that first Steam of Linux was announced, and then the Steambox,…
