Preview by Matt S. Due out in the west in around a month, Akiba’s Beat is a sequel to the delightfully oddball Akiba’s Trip (though it plays nothing like it), and comes to us from the very talented, and often underrated, development house, Acquire. Related reading: Matt’s “review” of Persona…
Read MorePreview by Jim S. Quarantine is, in principle, the opposite of another game we here at DDNet really enjoyed; Plague Inc: Evolved. In that game you needed to help a virus spread and destroy the world. In this turn-based strategy game, you must try to prevent the disease from destroying…
Read MorePreview by Matt S. EA and BioWare know that they’re on to a big thing with Mass Effect: Andromeda. Of course they do. In development now for over five years, this game has a lot to live up to, as the original trilogy is rightfully remembered as a classic trilogy.…

Read MorePreviews by Brad L. Yesterday we had a look at some of the games that are going to be made available on the Nintendo Switch by Nintendo itself. Today we’re looking at the other three Switch games that I was able to get some hands-on time with: Arms, Snipperclips, and…
Read MorePreviews by Brad L. Yesterday we were able to provide you with some impressions of the new console/handheld hybrid by Nintendo, the Switch. To follow up on this, we are beginning to focus on what can make or break a system; the games. To begin, we will share our initial…
