Crimsonland/Monopoly/Nintendo Switch/Reviews/Short 'n sweet reviews/Superbeat Xonic/Uno

Reviews by Matt S. It’s time for another edition of short ‘n sweet reviews with the Nintendo Switch; the console that keeps on giving. Once again, I’m looking at a series of games that are already available on other consoles, but have made their way to the Nintendo Switch, adding…

DLC Review: Horizon: Zero Dawn: The Frozen Wilds (Sony PlayStation 4)

November 23, 2017

DLC Review/Guerrilla Games/Horizon Zero Dawn The Frozen Wilds/Horizon: Zero Dawn/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews/RPG/Sony

Review by Brad L. Snow levels are the bane of my existence. Many games have their wintery themed levels, which to me generally look uninspired, and use the snow and ice as an excuse to offer the player a new challenge in making the floors slippery and difficult to navigate.…

Article by Matt S. Sony held a press event today, largely to give the local Australian media a refresher update on what the company has in the works over the next year, as well as highlight the company’s core strategy with the PlayStation brand. While there wasn’t anything outright new…

Review: Gear.Club Unlimited (Nintendo Switch)

November 22, 2017

Gear.Club Unlimited/Nintendo Switch/Racing Game/Reviews/Switch Review

Review by Matt S. One of the genres that the Nintendo Switch is going to struggle with is racing games that are more serious in tone than Mario Kart. It has nothing to do with the power of the console, but rather, the way it’s designed. Specifically, it lacks analogue…

Review by Pierre-Yves L. Zwei: The Ilvard Insurrection (Zwei II in Japan) is a fun and well designed action JRPG that has just been localised and release, finally, well after its original release in its homeland (2009). Voice acted for the first time as an added bonus to the localisation,…

Article by Matt S. At DDNet we have a commitment not to cover Bethesda, because of the way that it handles its media relations. That commitment stands until Bethesda changes its policy on interacting with the media, but with Skyrim VR, I do feel the need to make an exception…

2D platformer/Bubsy/Busby: The Woolies Strike Back/platformer/PlayStation 4/PS4 Review/Reviews

Review by Trent P. The line “What could possibly go wrong?” is arguably more famous than the Bubsy series itself. While the original Bubsy, Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind, gained a cult following, the later entries were rushed to market and greatly lacked in quality. This all cumulated in…

Review: Far From Noise (Sony PlayStation 4)

Review by Matt S. Emerson, Muir, Thoreau; these are the three people that Far From Noise’s creator, George Batchelor, explicitly credits with inspiring his philosophical treatise in interactive form. Those three might not be household names, but either it’s all a remarkable coincidence, or they are three of the leaders…
