Could the 'Final Fantasy 7' Remake Be THE Definitive Version of the Game?
Word of warning: there may be some spoilers that people may wish to avoid. Right, I've been playing Final Fantasy 7 again of late, mainly since the remake was announced and it has got me thinking. I've been thinking about how the remake could be the best possible version of the game.

In Celebration of 'Marvel Avengers Alliance'
Today's the day. Fans of Playdom's popular Avengers Alliance game are in mourning. The game's days have come to an end; today, on September 30th, Avengers Alliance will finish forever. Players are reacting in anger and disappointment, particularly over the fact Playdom has refused to give any refunds. They have one last Special Op to complete, an event that will give them the game's final superhero (Adam Warlock) and wrap up the story they've been part of four four years. It's a sad twist in the game's tale, particularly shocking given Avengers Alliance 2 only came out earlier this year. It's likely as heart-breaking for developers as it is upsetting for players.

Is Marvel Reviving The 'Ultimate Alliance'?
In recent years, it's become a truism that Marvel doesn't make great console games. But that wasn't always the case; back in 2006, we saw Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, a classic action role-playing game that saw players band together superheroes from across the Marvel Universe! 2009's lacklustre sequel, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2, was based on the "Civil War" plot; since then, with only a few Spiderific exceptions, Marvel just hasn't performed well on the gaming side of things.

Does 'Uncharted 4' Have The Best Gaming Easter Egg Of All Time?
The release of Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is a turning point in the catalogue of Uncharted Games -- not only the last in the franchise, but what many are calling the best game to date. The game is chocked full of nods to the past, with developer Naughty Dog giving their fans one hell of an easter egg. Avid fanboys can go back to the start in honor of Nathan Drake's swan song, all the way back to Naughty Dog's breakout game Crash Bandicoot, or as they used to call it, "Sonic's Ass Game".

Why I Still Play Skyrim and Love It
Skyrim came out in 2011. It is hard to imagine that this year its half a decade old. I still have the dvd game for my xbox and when I get sad and lonely, there's nothing better I like doing than killing some dragons and hunting for some Daedric artifacts.

Fact Or Fantasy?: 'Final Fantasy' Producer Addresses 6 Popular Fan Theories About The Video Game Series
The Final Fantasy series is one of the most successful video game series of all time. Stretching across 15 main series games and countless spin-offs, the series has became one of the leading forces in RPGs. One of the most unique elements of the series is the fact that each game features a new cast of characters in a new world, and as such, the series is constantly evolving and experimenting with new systems.

Moira: The New 'Overwatch' Meta?
It’s no surprise that the Overwatch community has been eager for a new support hero. Over the last few months, we have received some interesting new DPS and tank characters, but none in the support class, let alone one of the talon or blackwatch community within the lore. We were all excited to see during BlizzCon that one could be arriving within the next few weeks. Moira, a talon healer who receives damage (or health) from enemy players in order to heal her own team. Her ultimate is an interesting combo of health and damage which could help push a chokehold or even cause a giant shift in the game. The greatest question on everyone’s mind right now is whether or not she is capable of being the new support meta; for the longest time, Mercy reigned supreme as the ultimate pick for a hero. In fact, she is still the number one support hero picked within the roster due to the amount of direct healing she can provide. Is Moira strong enough to replace Mercy?

It's a sad day for fans of Disney Infinity. The popular toy-and-story game wasn't popular enough, it seems, and Disney have announced that they are completely leaving the video game self-publishing business.

How The Music Of 'Final Fantasy' Inspires Me When I'm Feeling Down
The Grammys are upon us, so the team here at Creators Media have challenged us to write about music (which is quite funny as my last article was about music too!). We've been challenged to write about a particular song that resonates with a seminal moment in our lives. However, I'm not the most exciting of people, nor am I a big music guy, so when I thought about a particular song and a certain moment, it didn't go so well.

Life Without Pokémon GO: A Superfan's Story
I'm not wearing a red and white cap and there is no Pikachu by my side! As the rest of the world went mad for Pokémon GO I had to sit here as the kid who missed out. Until now that is...the day is here - Pokémon GO finally makes it to the U.K. App Store and I can join in sharing 'Oddish' experiences of dead bodies, exposed infidelity and late night Poké- strip clubs. All from this little VR app, "But how does it work" (my grandma would say). Poké-spoilers everywhere, I became out the loop, so I guess it is time to fill up that Pokédex!
