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…

2 Dawn Games/PC/Ravaged

2 Dawn Games’ new post-apocalyptic, multiplayer FPS gets a publisher and will be in attendance at PAX Prime. I have to say, for a game that’s seemingly come out of nowhere, Ravage is looking pretty darned sharp. With a post-apoc world as the backdrop, the shooter “hammers gamers with savage…

Review: Chopper I (PS Minis)

August 27, 2012

Chopper I/PlayStation/Retro/Reviews/SNK Playmore

Ah, arcade shooters. Who doesn’t love the feel of dodging devious bullet patterns and firing streams of bullets whilst reliving the ‘80s? Alas, not all games of the era were able to recreate this thrill successfully. With a title like Chopper I, it seems the developers were more focused on…

Alundra/Arc The Lad/MonkeyPaw Games/PlayStation/PS Vita/PSN/Tomba

PSOne classics start to trickle onto the Vita tomorrow (huzzah!) with the newest system update. MonkeyPaw Games has a very solid initial lineup chock full of classic RPG goodness. The name ‘MonkeyPaw’ didn’t really ring a bell when I heard it, but their stable of classics from Sony’s first console…

Orcs Must Die! 2 – Fire & Water DLC

August 27, 2012

announcement/Booster Pack/DLC/Fire and Water/Orcs Must Die 2/PC/release date/Release Information/Robot Entertainment/Steam/Tower Defense

I was a huge fan of Orcs Must Die! 2, scoring it 4.5 out of 5 stars upon release. The game has a ton of replay value already, but Robot Entertainment has announced yet one more reason to give the game another go. This DLC is being called a ‘booster…

Review: New Super Mario Bros 2 (3DS)

August 27, 2012

New Super Mario Bros 2/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/platformer/Reviews

The best part of New Super Mario Bros. 2 is the opening scene the first time you turn it on to play. Suddenly the realisation hits: you’re about to play an entirely new 2D Mario game. Those memories of childhood come flooding back, and though the graphic style is looking…

Review: Papo & Yo (PS3)

Art Game/emotional game/Papo and Yo/PlayStation/PlayStation Network/PSN/puzzle/Reviews

Journey into the heart of a child in this emotional PSN indie game. Many of the world’s great musicians take their troubles in life and turn them into inspiring, oftentimes sensitive music to help soothe their sufferings.

Preview: War of the Roses (PC)

August 27, 2012

Fatshark/Paradox Interactive/PC/Steam/War Of The Roses

War of the Roses is an experience-gaining, melee-centric third-person multiplayer action game that borrows from history the real War of the Roses, a civil war between knights that took place between the mid-to-late 15th Century. You have got my interest, Paradox Interactive. Ever since the beginning of the seventh console generation, the…

Review: Time Soldiers (PS Minis)

August 26, 2012

PlayStation/PS3/PSN/Retro Reviews/SNK Playmore/Time Soldiers

Take a trip through time and face off against belligerent Legionnaires and missile loaded Triceratops’ in this classic SNK shooter. SNK’s Time Soldiers was released in the midst of the arcade boom of the late ’80s. Personally, I don’t remember the game, but I probably shouldn’t be too surprised that…

The world ends tomorrow…With You

August 26, 2012

Apple/iPad/iPhone/The World Ends With You

The world is ending tomorrow. Well, at least if you consider the re-release of a video game to be an unavoidable global calamity… Four years after its original release on the Nintendo DS, Square-Enix’s critically acclaimed JRPG, The World Ends With You, is making its way to the App Store.…
