Everything You Need To Know From Uncovered: 'Final Fantasy XV'
I'll be honest, I'm still freaking out. A lot of information was thrown at me last night during Square Enix's Uncovered event, and it had Final Fantasy fans understandably excited about a lot of things. Twitter was buzzing late into the evening as everything rolled out. There was a lot to take in at the event, with several announcements being made and a lot of big names from the company coming up and saying their piece. After getting a chance to process the whirlwind of information I was in, here's everything from Uncovered that I'm absolutely excited about.

Why SUPERHOT Is Poised To Be A Must-Have For Gamers
Awesome games get released every year and they all have something to offer to the gaming landscape either in the realm of graphics, storytelling, or general gameplay. For the most part, though, a lot of games borrow elements from each other and there a standard aesthetic starts forming. Every now and again, though, a game comes out that brings something refreshingly new to the landscape. SUPERHOT just so happens to be one of those games.

Fallout 4: War Never Changes And I'm Strangely Okay With That
I'll be honest with you, I've been playing a lot of Fallout 4. How much, you ask? Well, according to my trusty Steam Shame Tracker™, I know that I've sunk in about 294 hours into the game since its release on November 10th. I can't tell if that's a lot. It's probably a lot. Have I accomplished much? Have I found everything there is to find? Built everything that can be built? Nope. I've just made three separate game runs doing everything slightly differently from the previous run with vaguely different play styles. That's the magic of the Fallout games, isn't it? It's pretty much the same thing, but at the same time it's not. I've tried to come up with a reason why it's so appealing and it's really hard to put into words. I'm still going to give it a try though. Brace for ranting.

Fallout 4: An Open Letter to Bethesda
Dear Bethesda, So Fallout 4 came out this week and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm also starting to hear about a bunch of glitches that reviewers are finding in the game but I expect that at this point. My console peeps are pretty fuming mad for some reason. I wouldn't know, I play on PC. Of course, I've always seen it more as a glass half full kind of situation because the army of modders who love tinkering with your stuff will probably fix it or make things shinier. I'm not here to talk about any of that. I'm just here to talk about the adventure I've had with you so far. I know you have a lot of hardcore fans that have been with you for a while. I'm not one of those. I was a little late to the party. My adventure started on November 11, 2011.

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes: The Game That'll Ruin Your Relationship
There's something inherently fun about playing games together. Whether it's working as a team or competing against each other, games tend to bring people closer. Every now and again it has the potential to make people really frustrated with each other; a prime example being that one time I threw a Monopoly piece at a foreign exchange student, but that's a story for another time! Keep Talking and No One Explodes is one of those games that might just join the pantheon of awesome yet immensely frustrating games.

'Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash' Offers Up Some Fresh Faces and Fresh Moves
Earlier this week, Nintendo gave us a chance to take a look at a couple of its upcoming titles for the Wii U and 3DS. I talked about one of them here and there were a couple more than I only got a brief look at. A game that we actually got an opportunity to take for a whirl was Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash. I can't really tell you the last time I played anything in the Mario Tennis series but I'm pretty sure I was lukewarm on it back in the day so I was a little skeptical of the game at first. Then we actually started to play and it was, hands down, my favorite game that we got a chance to demo.

Play All The Things: A Sneak Peek at 'The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes'
Earlier this week, Moviepilot's own Marco and I got a chance to sit down with Nintendo and talk about their upcoming titles set to finish out 2015 with a bang. There are definitely a lot of great releases coming up to get excited about, both for the Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS. The first game we got our hands on was an upcoming title for the 3DS, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. First impressions? It's pretty damn fun.

How Final Fantasy 7 Made Me Fall in Love With Games
With the announcement of a remake of Final Fantasy 7, many long-time gamers were suddenly awash with a mix of nostalgia and slight foaming at the mouth. For many, this was the remake that they've always wanted to happen and while I'm doing my best to curb my own personal hype, I can't help but admit that I'm excited. But why? Why would I be excited about playing a remake of a game? I can't speak for everyone but, for me at least, Final Fantasy VII was the game that really made me fall in love with video games. This is going to get a little gushy so brace for that as I step in a mental time machine and hearken back to middle school.
