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.

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…

PSP/Release Information/Sega/Shining Ark/Sony PlayStation Portable/trailer

Sega released a new trailer for their upcoming Shining Ark game. Shining Ark is an RPG coming out for the PSP on February 28th in Japan. The visuals look good and show that developers are still working with the PlayStation Portable – especially on strategy and role-playing games it seems.…

Free/non gaming application/PlayStation/PlayStation Vita/Wake up club

One of the Vita’s secret strengths (and it really is secret, I see very little online chatter about it), is its many, many great and free non-gaming applications. It might seem strange for me to say this given that we’re a gaming-focused website and one would assume that the reason…

Review: Fire Emblem Awakening (3DS)

February 11, 2013

3DS/eShop/Fire Emblem/Fire Emblem Awakening/Nintendo/Reviews

Fire Emblem Awakening marks the first “new” game in the series since 2007’s Radiant Dawn on the Wii. As such, it seems reasonable to expect greater ambition from the folks at Intelligent Systems. …but not so much on casual mode If ambition is what you seek, Awakening delivers it in…

Goichi Suda has quite the following for his games, and the announcement that Killer is Dead would be coming to consoles soon (this and other titles will be brought over by Xseed Games). Still, there is not a lot known about the game so far. The estimated release for this…

Review: Croixleur (PC)

February 11, 2013

action/Arcade/Croixleur/doujin games/Nyu Media/PC/Reviews/Souvenir Circ

Many of the finest games focus on two aspects of their design; scoring and entertaining mechanics. Scoring is beautifully pure; doing certain actions rewards the player with points that increase a score. This score is most often either used to gauge the skill of a player or used to give…

Interview: Can’t find the right CCG for you? Make one!

February 10, 2013

CCG/collectible card game/Indie/Indie Game/Interview/Interviews/Jeff Pinkhardt/Orbs CCG

The collectible card game (CCG) genre is not an easy one to develop. First you need to come up with a killer, original concept, and then you need to build dozens – or preferably hundreds – of individual cards and rules that come together to build a balanced game. Then…
