Review: Thunder Wolves (PS3)

August 21, 2013

action/flight sim/PlayStation/PlayStation Network Review/PS3 Review/PSN/Reviews/Sony PlayStation Network/Thunder Wolves

Thunder Wolves comes out of the gates, all of its guns blazing. It makes not apologies for being what it is: an shooting title that looks and sounds like it would be right at home with a buddy action movie from the 80’s. The V8 Ninja wrote up a nice…

Review: Cubetractor (PC)

Cubetractor/PC/puzzle/Reviews

There are so many tower defense games out there that it comes as a nice change when a game comes along and tries to change up the genre. Cubetractor tries, but doesn’t succeed. Listed as a “neo-retroesque action-strategy-puzzle hybrid”, Cubetractor sees you taking control of the little droid Endroi, who…

Watching what Edward D. Wood thought would be his magnum opus, Plan 9 From Outer Space, it’s easy to see how much care went into such a flawed product. Wood was a truly horrible director, but the ideas found within his work were remarkably progressive; he’s a man that cared…

If the name alone of this short little freeware visual novel does not automatically cue you in that this is not a major production title, feel free to stop reading this review right now. Standing against violence in video games is something that hardly any major publisher would ever dream…

Review: Pokémon Rumble U (Wii U)

Back when the 3DS didn’t have much software to speak of, I found myself hopelessly addicted to Pokémon Rumble Blast. It was addictive in short bursts and offered a nice little level structure that had me wanting to replay levels over and over again to catch all the critters. Pokémon…

Nic Watt (left) Twitter has proven to be a great resource; both for finding news and for finding like-minded people. For Australian independent developer, Nnooo, Twitter also found it its first business opportunity as a publisher. “We hadn’t actually met Seon (Rozenblum, CEO of 3 Sprockets) before we had organised…

We don’t usually report on game bundles, because if we did, and reported on every single one of them, we’d be doing nothing else. But I did feel the need to report on a particularly good looking bundle for strategy game nuts. If for some reason you are a fan…

Review: Don’t Look Back (Ouya)

Terry Cavanagh is a name that I expect that most any of you reading this here at DDNet will be quite familiar with (Super Hexagon, anyone?). He’s been developing short freeware indie games and publishing them on numerous digital services for quite sometime now, and Don’t Look Back is one…
