List by Matt S. The PlayStation 4’s greatest strength is easily, overwhelmingly, the variety and breadth of its content. From the most mainstream of blockbusters, right through to the most niche of indie games, there really is something for everyone on this console, and that’s a library that is substantially…
Read MoreReview by Matt S. Tigger, from Winnie the Pooh, would love Senran Kagura. “Why?” I hear you ask? Well, it’s simple; Tiggers like bouncing, and there sure as hell is a lot of bouncing going on in this game. Related reading: The second issue of the DDNet Magazine focuses entirely…
Read MoreThe second issue of the DDNet e-magazine is now live. Continuing our theme of focusing on one specific topic each month, this time around we’ve taken a close look at the ever-controversial theme of fanservice. Related reading: You can catch up on the first issue of the magazine here. Ah…
Read MoreGametrailers recently included the Hyperdimension Neptunia series in a “top 10 game franchises that need to die” clickbait feature. What utter nonsense; as we can see with Megadimension Neptunia VII, the series continues to go from strength to strength, and you don’t let a series “die” when it’s doing that.…

Read MoreJ-stars Victory Vs+ is a game that we didn’t really think would make its way out west, because it involves characters from a lot of different anime and manga licenses, and in the west this means that a lot of different rights holders needed to sign off on it. And…
Read MoreFinal Fantasy fans – and the broader gaming community – have a complex relationship with Final Fantasy X-2. Despite both games in the mini-series being reasonably highly rated games at the time, over the years, Final Fantasy X has been (rightfully) lauded as an absolute classic, while Final Fantasy X-2…
Read MoreI was worried going in to Highschool DxD New Season 2. After all, I hadn’t seen the original season, and I was certain that a series with such a complex and in-depth narrative such as this one would make it difficult for me to catch up with the events and…
Read MoreI guess this was inevitable. Taking the generals and heroes of the Sengoku period of Japanese history (the same time period that the Samurai Warriors games take place within), and presenting an alternate history that revises almost all them into attractive ladies is a distinctly anime thing to do.
