Fimbul/News/Nintendo Switch/PC/PlayStation 4/trailer/Trailers

News by Matt S. Fimbul is a good looking little game, set in the viking world of unending cold. You get to play as a berserker returned to life by the gods to prevent Ragnarok, and if that isn’t a awesome concept for a game, I don’t know what is.…

News by Matt S. The Caligula Effect is a genuine work of genius. It’s deep, powerful, and philosophically dense, which, on the PlayStation Vita, made it one of those little gems that relatively few people discovered, but within that group, it found some real fans (including me). The Caligula Effect:…

Review: Reigns: Game of Thrones (Apple iPhone)

Review by Matt S. Lindsay, DDNet’s news editor, is going to hate me for saying this, because she is constantly telling me know great Reigns is, but I’ve not actually played either the original, or its sequel (Her Majesty) before. As great as these games have always sounded, they’ve been…

Retro by Matt S. Whenever I’m in Japan, I like to pick up a couple of classic Game Boy games from Super Potato, or one of the other brilliant retro stores that are over there. This year was no different, and I wanted to briefly muse on the pick of…

News by Matt S. Everyone that follows film even mildly knows that Sean Bean is “the dude that dies.” The number of films where he plays someone who is killed at some point is truly astronomical. It’s become a bit of Hollywood in-joke. Like the six degrees of Bacon game.…

News by Lindsay M. There isn’t often I feel let down by the game options the PlayStation 4 has to offer me, but darned if I haven’t been wishing for a laptop just so I could play Dream Daddy. Wishing no more! Dream Daddy: Dadrector’s Cut is coming to the…

Review by Matt S. It’s been a long time since my last “new” Soulcalibur title. I was a big fan of Soulcalibur 2 in both the arcades and on my GameCube, and I did enjoy the HD remaster of that on PlayStation 3. Otherwise, though, I’ve largely skipped this series.…

News by Lindsay M. Originally announced back in August, The Waylanders is described as a time-travelling fantasy RPG inspired by games such as Dragon Age and Neverwinter Nights 2. It is one of my much-anticipated titles (despite my terrible fear of time travel), and I’m thrilled to see that it…
