June 4, 2014

Mario Kart 8 is currently high on everyone’s charts, and one of its best features is the competitive racing online. So we’ve created a competition so DDNet readers can duke it out with one another to see who is the best karter around! It’s an invite-only contest, so you’ll need…

DLC/DLC Review/Europa Universalis/Europa Universalis IV/grand strategy/Paradox Interactive/Reviews/RTS/Strategy/Wealth of Nations

Review by Matt S. As far as I’m concerned, Europa Universalis IV is the greatest strategy game out there for anyone who takes their strategy games seriously. It combines a lovely presentation and interface with detailed, complex empire management strategy and a rich understanding of history (something most strategy fans…

News by Matt S. Anyone who knows me knows that of all Tecmo Koei Warriors franchises, it is Samurai Warriors that is my favourite. Samurai Warriors 3 on the Nintendo Wii was a game I spent literally hundreds of hours on (and can no longer play online with friends, sadface).…

Review by Rob P. Today, I’d like to talk about an insidious evil that threatens our very society. It’s all around us. It’s on the bus, on the train, in the fields, on the beach. It starts slowly, with a scuff or a scratch. Left unchecked, it spreads rapidly, leaving…

Preview by Matt S. Getting some hands on time with Codemasters’ upcoming GRID Autosport was my first experience with the popular racing franchise. I came away from the experience very much impressed, but whether the game is going to pull me away from Gran Turismo 6 as my go-to for…

E3/E3 2014/Opinion

Opinion by Nick H. It’s that time of year again; the industry gets together to show off the big games and technologies that we’ll be playing in the year ahead. E3 2014 will no doubt be a big show, but what are the DDNet staff looking forward to? This week…

News by Matt S. Flat Earth Games, the Sydney-based indie that truly impressed us with its excellent debut, Towncraft, has announced its second game; Metrocide. This game is a very (very) different experience to Towncraft. Set it a futuristic, crime-ridden city, this stealth-action game promises to be very, very difficult,…

Review: Murdered: Soul Suspect (PlayStation 4)

Review by Matt S. Murdered: Soul Suspect frustrates me; it’s a game that shows a world of potential, but ultimately fails to execute on its many promises. In so many ways this game is the textbook case study of the issues with big budget game development. But first, the very…

Review: Mario Kart 8 (Nintendo Wii U)

Review by Clark A. Modern Mario Kart games are a far cry from the original Super Mario Kart, which focused on adeptly manoeuvring through basic, well-designed tracks with twitch controls. Each sequel thereafter has distanced itself from the earlier titles with new items, new courses, and new mechanics designed to…
