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…

Counter Strike/dust 514/PlayStation/PS3/PSN

A pile of new games posted to the Playstation Network this week, both of the full retail and PSN variety. Leading the way is classic shooter Counter Strike and none other than Transformers: Fall of Cybertron. Counter Strike: Global Offensive probably needs little in the way of introduction. It’s the…

Review: Legends of Pegasus (PC)

August 23, 2012

4X Strategy/Kalypso Media/Legends of Pegasus/PC/PC Review/Reviews/Steam/Video Game

4X strategy titles are a tricky affair. Diehard fans of this genre have very high expectations of any new release due to existing games that have been great and established their cult following. On the other hand, because of how deep these titles attempt to go, it is fairly easy…

Counter Strike/Left 4 Dead/Metal Gear Solid/Resident Evil/Xbox 360/xbox live update

Counter Strike: Global Offensive brings some team based, tactical shootin’ and JOJO’s Bizarre Adventure HD brings some bizarro one-on-one fightin’ to Xbox Live this week. CS:GO looks really, really sharp. I know absolutely nothing about the game, but it’s got a nice graphical overhaul and is loaded with stuff to…

Harold/Moon Spider Studios/PC/PS3/Xbox 360

Indy developer Moon Spider Studios has a new hero on the way to consoles and PC in the form of hapless jogger Harold. Billed as a platform/racing/puzzle game, Harold tasks players with protecting dopey goofball Harold as a guardian angel as he races through some painfully dangerous courses. Harold is the…

Orc Attack gassing consoles and PC soon

August 23, 2012

Casual Brothers/Orc Attack/PC/PlayStation 3/PS Vita/reverb/Xbox 360

What’s big, green, and (apparently) incredibly flatulent? Take it to the invading human army as a brutish Orc in Orc Attack! There’s definitely a little role reversal going on in Orc Attack. Developer Casual Brothers newest title casts players as a rampaging and (again) flatulent Orc trying to repel a…

Review: Toybox (iPhone/ iPad)

August 22, 2012

Apple/Australia/iPad/iPhone/match-3/Reviews/Shooter/Toybox

I was worried going in to Toybox, since the game seems to take pride in its inspiration – the ‘game’ of patting your head while rubbing your stomach. My concern was simple – that’s a really, really irritating game to play, unless you’re good at it, in which case it’s…

Video review: Legasista (PS3)

August 22, 2012

dungeon delve/Legasista/Nippon Ichi Software/PlayStation/Reviews/RPG/Video review

Legasista is basically what you would expect from a game published by NIS America – it’s a chunky, time-draining game with a compelling character customisation system and some simple but very charming visuals. For JRPG fans, it’s essential stuff. For almost everyone else… perhaps not so. Unless you’re very familiar…
