The impressions the closed beta left on me Final Fantasy XIVwas a disaster. I never played the original version, but from what I hear it was pretty bland and uninspired in all areas. It takes some serious gall, as well as business sense, to straight up cancel an MMO and rework it from the ground up. Square Enix has done just that with the secondFinal FantasyMMO, now adding the titleA Realm Reborn....

In your honest opinion, which is more embarrassing? The fact that I know every single lyric to every single song inAladdinor the fact that I owned (andwore, mind you) a t-shirt in high school with a picture of the genie on it that said “You Rubbed?” And, yes, I saidhigh school.

From western to Japanese to massively multiplayer, RPGs are now fully in the spotlight. Feels good, right? Narrowing the list down to five was one hell of a task, but a clear winner has emerged....

‘You got me there.’ With the kinds of properties getting film adaptations lately, likeSonic the Hedgehog, Gears of War, Detective Pikachu, Streets of Rage, and even friggin’Tetris, some properties slip through the cracks. First announced two years ago when 20th Century Fox first bought the rights to a movie based on Capcom’sMega Manseries, Fox is finally moving forward with Chernin Entertainment and Masi Oka fromHeroes(what). It’s too early in production to have any clear details as to what form of adaptation it’ll take, whether it be CG, 2D, or some kind of CG/live-action hybrid, but the film will be written and directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman....
