Guest Review: FFXIII

Well hey everybody it’s me, Faado, again - this time on a slightly older game all the way back from 2010. I would review a newer game but hey I’m rather skint so I’ll review what I have access to. And so today I give to you one of the most beautiful games I have ever played: Final Fantasy XIII  Epic battles, amazing worlds, great stories and fantastic music, these are just some of the things that I personally associate with the name Final Fantasy and this instalment in the legendary series doesn’t disappoint… for the most part.

8-bit Masterpiece

Those who know me would tell you that I hate Minecraft with a burning passion, that the idea makes me angry and the gameplay is confusing. I was a fool. Yesterday, our anti-gamer invited me to his Minecraft server to try the game out. I was reluctant, but I gave it a go. I bought and downloaded Minecraft, thinking I had probably just wasted £16.95 of my hard-earned money. I was so wrong. So very, very wrong. Minecraft is amazing.
