    Why FFXIII is a GOOD game

    INTRO: OK, so I know there’s been a lot of reviews on this game already. But I feel like a lot of those reviews are a bit harsh and fail to recognize (and delve into) what went right in this production (and what went wrong). So, without further ado, here’s my analysis. WHAT WENT RIGHT...

    Favorite Game Over Screen?

    You've spent hours fighting the hardest boss in the game, and you know you're close. He can't possibly have more than a few hundred more HP. You've got this in the bag! But then, out of nowhere, he hits you with the most badass bomb diggity attack and totally creams your party. Damn. So...

    Front Covers of Final Fantasy Games

    Ok, so this has been kinda buggin me for a while, and I apologize if it's already on a different thread or something. But, I've noticed that some of the front covers of final fantasy games don't really fit the games themselves. They depict characters that don't necessarily appear in the game...

    Serious Harsh Interviews

    I've been running the circuit to get into medical school for the past few months and I'm currently going on interviews. For those of you not familiar, med school interviews are typically a whole day long. The interviews themselves are about 30-60 minutes long, and you usually have two during...

    Final Fantasy IV or Chrono Trigger?

    How far have you gone for the Perfect Game?

    Recently, I played FFII and spent about 6+ hours fighting random battles in the final area, trying to find one monster to complete the bestiary. It was....less than pleasant. Another one for me was leveling/drawing magic in FF8 just to beat Omega Weapon so I could get a 100% completion there...

    Is Dissidia Perpetuating the Wrong theme?

    Ok, so before I begin, I want to make it fully known that I haven't played Dissidia yet, and that I'm basing my opinions on what i've seen in trailers and read in reviews. Additionally, this is just my opinion, and i want to know (particularly from people who have played the game) if some of my...

    I'd like to share a story. I got my first system about 7 or 8 years ago, and it was a PS1. I remember getting some terrible games to go with it, including a second rate racing game and a horrible star wars incarnation. The summer after getting the system, I remember getting a gift from my...
