Who Wants Eleven Minutes of Final Fantasy Type-0?

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Oct 17th

The game’s battle system seems to be an updated version of Brave Fencer Musashi, which I find amazing. Eh you’re not even reading this anymore even though I’m here to tell you that many of the Final Fantasy elements you all demand are returning, including airhships, chocobos, open-world exploration (seemingly), and moogles. I’m stunned by the level of detail they’re able to get out of an...

I Wish I Could Play EVE Online

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Jul 9th

After watching an awesome trailer like the one for this post. I wish I had the time and the resources to get into this MMO. Though I’m fairly certain my productivity and life would just go down the crapper with every waking moment I spent playing.

Oh Square Enix, How Far You’ve Fallen

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on May 13th

I don’t normally like stooping to making posts about the financial reporting of any company, but today I just couldn’t help myself after reading online that Square Enix is blaming everyone else for their business losses this year.

GDR: The Further Adventures of Lincoln the Dragon Hunter

A while ago I talked about my first dungeon mastering experience with the only person I could find that would play with me…my three year old son. Now that we’ve been playing a little more I thought I’d fill you in on the latest news.

A Two Worlds 2 Review-ish Thing

by Jason Rogers under PLAY on Feb 1st

I did something I probably shouldn’t have the other day, and that thing was purchasing a game called Two Worlds 2. I want to give all of you a little rundown on what my first few hours playing Two Worlds 2 was like. This is by no means a review, as I doubt I played a substantial enough portion of the game to even have something that resembles a proper opinion for a review. I just want to inform you about a few things...

Have I played my final Final Fantasy?

by Jason Rogers under FEATURED, PLAY on Jan 24th

With all of this Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Versus XIII news lately, it has caused me to take a look into my heart and confront the fact that I don’t quite know what Final Fantasy is to me anymore. There was a time when Final Fantasy meant glorious, world-spanning adventures, complex and well-developed characters, and turn based battles that tested the will and skill of even the most hardcore RPG fans. To me, when I popped...

Playing Games The Wrong Way – Final Fantasy XIII

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Oct 26th

Alright, I’ll admit it…I’m one of THOSE type of gamers that bases an initial opinion on a game before actually giving it a chance. Usually this works out well for me, and I had every intention on loving the living hell out of Square’s latest in the single-player Final Fantasy experiences, Final Fantasy XIII…I should have held off and saved myself $60.

Two Worlds 2 – Trailer

by Xopher Reed under PLAY on Oct 25th

The first edition of Two Worlds was pretty much a failure. It was plagued by glitches and was just essentially an all around mess according to the people I know who have played it. It wasn’t very well accepted on the consoles, but from what I hear, the PC version was MUCH better if not still a bit mediocre. I hope that with this trailer for its sequel that the same isn’t true, because that’d be a shame.
