Review by Lachlan W. I’ve never been flighty or easy to scare. I’m not bragging – it’s just kind of a fact. Like most Australian boys, I got my first exposures to real horror media through illicitly obtained VCRs from the local Video EZ secretly watched at night with my…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. The folks at Corecell Technologies have achieved something remarkable; made getting a swimsuit costume for a character such a chore that I just can’t be bothered. In Crazy Strike Bowling EX you earn points for unlocking costumes by playing games, earning a “prize” point per point…
Read MoreReview by Priscilla M. “The forces of a capitalist society, if left unchecked, tend to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.” (Jawaharlal Nehru, New York Times Magazine, Sept. 7, 1958) Pikuniku, developed by Sectordub and published by Devolver Digital on both the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam,…

Read MoreReview by Harvard L. So I’ve written for DDNet for a while, and I find that the games that I tend to like the most are the ones that feel like more than just a game – the ones that make me think about my life, and reality itself. I’ve…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Before there was Nioh, there was Onimusha: Warlords. That’s not a superficial comparison. Nioh was a dark fantasy tale that mixed Japanese yokai and oni mythology with Sengoku-era heroes and villains. Onimusha: Warlords… is a dark fantasy tale that mixes Japanese yokai and oni mythology with…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Having a card game on the Nintendo Switch is the most delightful idea. As someone who started playing the physical Magic: The Gathering from the very first edition, and then played dozens of other trading card games (TCG) in the years since, from Call of Cthulhu…
