I played Final Fantasy X all the way up to the end boss and loved upgrading my characters by activating nodes in the game's massive, complicated sphere grid. Little did I know that the sphere grid was really a group of primarily straight lines that masquerade as something more convoluted. More »

Fathers are easy to find in video games. When they're not antagonizing their offspring or killed off in the first level, they often serve as our main characters' major motivation. More »

Every time I post a Second Life story here we get tons of comments reminding us that SL is not a game, which I won't argue with...but it is chock full of gamers. Not a week goes by that I don't run into something awesome and gaming related, whether it be discovering that someone I am talking to is a player in the gaming industry, or simply running into some amazingly cool creations, like these Final Fantasy X creature avatars my friend Keiko stumbled across in her travels. They are, as you can see, amazingly detailed replicas of FFX summons as well as the most adorable Chocobo you're likely to find. Each avatar comes with special attacks taken straight from the game, and the Ifrit and Bahamut versions both come with two color schemes - normal and Yu Yevon. Created by Second Lifer Damien Fate, the avatars cost 1000 Linden each (around $5) and never fail to impress the hell out of everyone who sees them, FF fans or not. Damien is currently working on the ever-creepy Tonberry, with Ixion on the way after that. You can find them for sale in SL here, or hit up Damien's YouTube to get a look at the creatures in action. Damn fine work. More »

Ouendan (soon to be spun-off in the States under the far weaker title Elite Beat Agents) for the Nintendo DS. They give a blurb on each band, then link a You Tube version of the original song's music video, as well as a live performance, if available. But none of the professional performers can hold a candle to the above video of an apple-cheeked cosplayer dressed as Lulu of Final Fantasy X demurely playing L'Arc-En-Ciel's "Ready Steady Go" on a recorder.
