5 Tips For Playing Better Monks
There is a place between skill and sorcery, where the hard lines of what is and isn't supernatural begin to blur. It is a place beyond the codified laws of magic, where will and spirit become manifest, and allow the impossible to become real.

Choose Your Path: Skyrim Adventures and Screenshot Obsessions
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim came out on way back when in November 11, 2011. That was a little over four years ago and that makes the phrase "time flies" really hit home. The moment it came out, I knew the game was going to be something special. At the very least I knew it was going to be special to me. It was my first Bethesda game and you always remember your first, right?

You'll Be Amazed By What This Gamer Did With The Slog In 'Fallout 4'
I like to think that I can build a pretty mean looking settlement. However, every time I start thinking that I'm getting competent at it, the Internet goes ahead and shows me what else is possible and then it's back to the drawing board. Case in point, Tumblr user DionysusDreams has taken The Slog, a possible settlement in Fallout 4, and turned it into a thriving community with pretty sturdy looking defenses. When I saw the photos I had to reach out to her and find out what went into making this settlement into a defensible and cozy looking spot.

Fallout 4: Keeping Your Castle Game Strong
Late last year I wrote about my undying love for Spectacle Island and the amount of space and freedom it gave you when it came to building a settlement you can be proud of. I'm still tinkering with how I want it to look but for now I've turned my attention to The Castle, the one place I neglected the most.

Fallout 4: My Obsession With Spectacle Island
When I found out that you could build settlements in Fallout 4, I knew that my days were numbered. I loved the idea and I took to it like water. A lot of my hours of gameplay were dedicated to scouring for resources, building bigger and better settlements, and learning from the last one so that the next settlement would be that much more fun to build and see grow. Out of all of them, my favorite has been the entirely isolated and extremely large playground that is Spectacle Island. But how do you even get there? Well, the fact of the matter is that it's kind of a bitch.

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.

Fact Or Fantasy?: 'Final Fantasy' Producer Addresses 6 Popular Fan Theories About The Video Game Series

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.

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...
