Competition

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)

PlayStation/PlayStation 3/Tokyo Game Show

Tokyo Game Show (TGS) is always good for one or two big reveals, and this year, a sleek new PlayStation 3 model dominated Sony’s TGS presentation. The first thing you’ll notice is this thing looks sleek. It’s tiny, and roughly 1/4 as heavy as the previous PS3 model. It will…

It’s funny how it works. Just the other day I made a post about how the Vita has a range of great little applications and games that made the console great value, even without buying a game. And the day I make that post later Sony releases Ecolibrium, which is…

Rayman Jungle Run swings over to the App Store

September 18, 2012

App Store/Apple/iOS/rayman/Rayman Jungle Run

Fond of Rayman Origins and wishing you could play the game on your iOS device? Well, you still can’t, but perhaps Ubisoft is making up for it with the release of Rayman Jungle Run. The game runs on the very same engine that powered Origins and the retina display on…

Tony Hawk HD skates onto Steam

Activision/PC/Steam/tony hawk's pro skater hd

Activision’s Tony Hawk rebirth continues as Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD arrives on the PC by way of Steam. Previously only available on the Xbox and PS3, Tony Hawk makes his way to the PC fairly intact and identical to the console versions. So, I said ‘fairly’ and there’s a…

Call of Cthulhu: The Wasted Land now has a free demo version for iOS devices that’s expandable as you play… just like your madness! This is kind of a unique model. The base game is free to download and gives players the tutorial and first mission (Pudding Lane) to play…

007 legends/Activision/James Bond/PC/PS3/Xbox 360

The fifth and final (if you don’t count Skyfall) James Bond mission has been set for mega-crossover game 007 Legends. What better way to round out the game than with the iconic Goldfinger? It does, in all fairness, seem a little odd(job) to see Daniel Craig starring in Goldfinger and…

Despite being announced for a release in September of last year, Lunar: Silver Star Story Touch will be making its way to iOS later this week. Originally released on the Sega CD back in 1993, Lunar boasts animated cutscenes and enhanced sound that helped show off the CD hardware at the…

Review: Heavy Fire: Special Operations 3D (3DS)

September 18, 2012

Arcade/Heavy Fire/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Onrails/Reviews/Shooter

Call it a guilty pleasure, or whatever you’d like, but I’m a fan of the light-gun shooters that have come in the recent motion controlled era. Heavy Fire: Afghanistan on the PS3 with Move was a flawed, but fun change of pace from all the modern-day shooters that have come along since…

Apple/iPad/legion/Matrix Games

Who likes classic strategy games? Who likes iPads? Who wouldn’t like the two of them together! Matrix Games might or might not be a name you recognise, but they’re the minds behind one of the few genuine, hardcore wargames on the iPad so far – Battle Academy. That was a…
