Review: Fated: The Silent Oath (Sony PlayStation VR)

Review by Matt C. I’m surprised at how few “walking simulators” there are for PlayStation VR, given how perfect the platform is for that sort of game. Atmospheric, narrative-rich first-person adventure games are what VR was made for. So why are they still so rare? Luckily, Fated: The Silent Oath…

Review by Brad L. I never knew I wanted a narrative when playing a sports game. Normally I balk at the mere thought, as for the most part they do nothing to add to the overall experience. Old Time Hockey has changed my mind on that, and has shown how…

DDNet Premium/Game Theory/Opinion/Persona 5/reality

Game theory by Matt S. One of the core themes that runs through Persona 5 is the question of reality; or, more specifically, what is reality? It’s a topic that on the surface is quite straightforward: reality is what we see in front of us. I wake up in the…

Review by Britta S. Robert, our young hero, wears a striped windsock on his nose. Peck the pigeon looks rather like a sausage balloon and has a thing for old, smelly fish. Uncle Conroy is a killjoy and worse – never before has the phrase “Bring me the hedgehog!” instilled…

Review by Matt C. It’s clear that a lot of heart’s gone into the development of Eekeemoo: Splinters of the Dark Shard. Unfortunately all the good intention in the world can’t save a broken game, and that’s what Eekeemoo is. It barely works as a prototype, let alone a full…

Review by Nick H. Baseball may not be the powerhouse sport in America that it used to be, but it certainly still has international appeal. MLB The Show is a reflection of the relative lack of interest in the sport I suppose, as it is the only AAA baseball title…

Preview by Matt C.At a glance, Prisma & the Masquerade Menace probably looks like a lot of other platformers out there, with its jumping puzzles and colourful presentation. However, its defining characteristic is inspired by something quite different: Ikaruga. In Treasure’s famously difficult shoot ‘em up, the only way through…
