Review by Matt S. Anyone who thought that Compile Heart couldn’t pull together a genuinely good quality JRPG to go with its trademark insanity really needs to play Fairy Fencer F, and prepare to have their mind blown. Billed as a “more serious” take on the Hyperdimension Neptunia formula, Fairy…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Whoever thought up the concept of the original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy was a genius. With music being one of the strengths of the Final Fantasy franchise that has remained consistent throughout its history, even as people have waxed and waned about the entertainment value of individual…
Read MoreReview by Shaan J. After a trio of add-on expansions was first announced for Dark Souls II, I had the feeling that From Software would be dishing them out in small, bite-sized pieces of content this time, compared to the arguably meatier experience that was Artorias of the Abyss (the…
Read MoreReview by Jim S. If you’re a fan of Star Fox then Thorium Wars: Attack of the Skyfighter may be initially interesting to you, just by looking at its profile on the Nintendo eShop. This is a sequel to a DSiWare game called Thorium Wars (surprised?). It’s a space shooter…

Read MoreReview by Shaan J. Having already spent a dozen or so hours in a rather rainy recreation of Seattle (I thought the real Seattle was permanently rainy? – ed), I wasn’t all that excited to jump back into the world of Infamous for a second time. inFamous: Second Son came…
Read MoreReview by Brad L. “Just one more dig!” was a common sentence I uttered during my time with SteamWorld Dig. Not since Diablo II have I played a game that caused me to stay up longer than I’m accustomed to, just for the sheer fact that I was completely hooked…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Dark Souls II has been among my favourite titles of 2014. It has a palpably dark, heavy setting that has weighted in on me throughout the journey, making even small victories seem more important than they probably are. It is one of the ultimate high risk/…
Read MoreReview by Nick H. Sacred 3 was a game that everyone at DDNet was really looking forward to, thanks to the quality of the previous game, and given how long it has been since we had a new Sacred game (no, the beat-em-up, Sacred Citadel, doesn’t count). Certainly Sacred 2…
