Review 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…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. As someone who doesn’t really like doing the online multiplayer thing – particularly with narrative and atmosphere-heavy experiences (people just can’t commit to the roleplay, damnit), I say this: Star Trek: Bridge Crew is utterly brilliant.

Read MoreReview by Jim S. It’s been a good six years since the last Bomberman game was released, but it’s good that the series, which kicked off way back in 1983, is still kicking around. I always liked Bomberman games, though the series has flagged a bit in recent years, with…
Read MoreReview by Harvard L. Before I start actually assessing the game based on its merits, I think perhaps it’s reasonable for me to sulk a little about what the game isn’t, and what I wanted the game to be. I wanted 1-2-Switch to be bundled with the console. I wanted…
