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?

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!

The 5 Weirdest Mini-Games In All Of Gaming History
Mini-games have been around for almost as long as video games themselves, going all the way back to the original Final Fantasy and Super Mario Bros. 3 in the 1980s. They give players a chance to experience a game within a game, changing up the regular gameplay for a quick breather.

A quick note before we continue on with this list. This is almost entirely opinion based and may in your opinion be complete bullshit, but hey, that's how opinions work, so feel free to disagree, but please try not to threaten my life. Alright, let's scroll.

In Defense of 'Final Fantasy 13': Does This Game Deserve Its Reputation?
The Final Fantasy series is a highly popular video game series that some would argue revolutionised role-playing games as a genre. What makes them unique is that each game is individual, featuring a new set of characters, a new world and a whole new story. The series is constantly evolving and is never afraid to take risks. For many (including me), Final Fantasy VII was their introduction to the genre and the series. There are many fans who would argue this is the pinnacle of the series, and is yet to be bettered. The latest (offline) installment of the series, Final Fantasy XIII, was met with a very mixed reaction indeed...

'The Last of Us 2'
It's been a long time since I've lost and attached to a game like this one. All from the graphics, setting, stage interaction, storyline, and character emotions. I could not get enough of this world, I needed to walk through every room and interact with everything you could in the levels just to be and feel closer to this masterpiece.

Possible Couples From 'The Letter'
The Letter by YangYang Mobile is one of my favourite visual novels at the moment. I love the characters and how complex they are. The story is compelling and the game is character-driven. It has just the right amount of gore for me. If you take the horror element away, you'd be left with one of the most vibrant casts since Ace Attorney. If you take the drama element you've got a perfect Halloween Flick. It works well together like peanut butter and jelly jam.
