Let me get this out the way first: I didn’t like the first two Final Fantasy XIII’s, so I’ve been pretty pessimistic about Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, the final episode in the XIII “saga.” While I still have my doubts about the game, the brief …
As I reported earlier, the internet is abuzz clamoring for more information about the latest installment in the mega-popular Super Smash Bros. series. While previous news to come out of E3 has focused on the addition of new characters, this afternoon brought us some clarity about …
