Review by Ginny W. Violence in video games is a hot button topic nowadays. Whether it’s a gory decapitation or a continuous slaughterfest of screaming enemies, gratuitous murder is the order of the day for a lot of titles, both old and new. I don’t have a problem with the…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Caveman Warriors is a game which wears its influence on its sleeve. Developed by Spanish studio JandaSoft, it’s a co-op platformer with four characters, each with unique abilities which will need to used together to navigate a variety of far-fetched levels. Listing games like New Super…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. As a tremendous fan of the Star Wars universe, this beautiful, fast-paced game manages to tickle and please the senses while making my head and heart hurt at the same time. Unfortunately for everything that Star Wars Battlefront II gets right along the way, it has…
Read MoreReview by Pierre-Yves L. Bandai Namco recently brought the newest iteration of the Gundam Versus series back into the hands of the players.

I know that there are plenty of others that like the childpunk attitude with its nauseating overuse of sickeningly bright, clashing, chaotic “street” colours, but I don’t. It’s an ugly, ugly, ugly game, (though in fairness it also…
Read MoreReview by Sam M. In what is a fond memory of mine, I inherited from my grandfather his collection of Matchbox cars. Some weren’t in that great condition, nor were most of them rare or collectible by any means, but often, much to the amusement of my grand imagination as…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As a rule of thumb we aim to write reviews of at least 1000 words at DDNet. We do that because we like to explore the various themes that games put forward at depth, and all games, regardless of design, are the product of a lot…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. One of the first games ever released was called Spacewar. In that game, two players controlled ships which rotated and moved in an unwieldy way, trying to shoot the other ship before their own was destroyed. AstroDuel Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch is what Spacewar would…
