Those who love The Walking Dead are never without new content for long: between toys, games, books, and television, there is always something fresh and exciting to enjoy.

Review: Final Fantasy Explorers (Nintendo 3DS)

3DS/3DS Review/Final Fantasy/Final Fantasy Explorers/JRPG/Monster Hunter clone/Nintendo 3DS/Reviews/Square Enix

I’m actually surprised it has taken this long for Square Enix to come up with its own spin on the Monster Hunter franchise. Capcom’s behemoth has certainly been successful in creating an entirely new genre, in which players take on hulking beasts in highly strategic, complex, sustained battles. Titles such…

Apple iPhone/iPhone Review/newsgame/PeaceMaker/Reviews/serious game/simulation

There has been an idea floating around the industry for quite a while now that video games could have merit in exploring subjects that you would traditionally see in a newspaper. These “newsgames” would be an interactive way of relaying current events to people, and in getting them to interact…

Review: Attractio (Sony PlayStation 4)

Attractio/Bandai Namco Entertainment/GameCoder Studios/PS4 Review/puzzle/Reviews/Sony PlayStation 4

At first Attractio looks as though it might have something interesting to say about reality television and our need for entertainment, wrapped up in a game with some solid puzzle-solving. Unfortunately that goodwill is quickly squandered by a poor presentation and a complete failure opportunity to make the most of…

Review: Arslan: The Warriors of Legend (Sony PlayStation 4)

action/anime game/Arslan: the Warriors of Legend/Koei Tecmo/PlayStation 4/PS4/PS4 Review/Reviews

What amazes me with Koei Tecmo’s Warriors franchise in recent years is just how good the company has become in distinguishing each new title from what came previously. It is, after all, a series that was once erroneously chalked up as an endless stream of samey button mashers (and still…

Review: Turok: Dinosaur Hunter (PC)

FPS/PC/PC Review/Retro/Reviews/Turok/Turok: Dinosaur Hunter

When we look at the modern FPS we think of Call of Duty, Battlefield & Halo as your big AAA shooters. Often we question the evolution of these games and how little progress is made each year. It wasn’t always like that. Turok: Dinosaur Hunter was once a big gun…

Double Damage Games/PS4 Review/Rebel Galaxy/Reviews/RPG/Sony PlayStation 4/space game

Rebel Galaxy surprised me by offering a take on the space simulation/RPG genre and bringing it to console in a way that worked well with a controller. With more of an emphasis on action than strategy, the only real flaw – and it is a notable one – is the…

It takes some real cajones to take a popular song and change it completely. I think we forget that in a world in which covers are more commonplace than original music; if you’re going to take something great and do something with it, even when it was your creation in…

Happy Lunar New Year! It’s now the Year of the Monkey, for those who haven’t been keeping track, and that means if you were born in 2004, 1992, 1980, 1968, 1956, 1944 or 1932 (how awesome would it be if someone born in 1932 is reading DDNet?), this year’s all…
