The PC launch for the legendary Final Fantasy VII has been a rough sailing for Square Enix. From gamers being unable to even play their game to finding the game’s quality unsatisfactory, the launch has been far from smooth. Many have found themselves with activation issues or not even receiving their activation code or the game not being available in their country (Australia and New Zealand). While other gamers who have managed to get everything activated just fine, have found the game to be an inferior version of the original with sound issues, bogus achievements and overhyped “improved” graphics.

Skyrim Dawnguard Expansion Now Available On PC
August 3, 2012 By Leave a Comment
A bit late on this story, but worth posting nonetheless. Bethesda made a surprise announcement yesterday at QuakeCon, revealing that the Dawnguard DLC expansion for Skyrim is now available for PC Players to enjoy. The expansion is available for purchase on Steam at this very instant for a price of $19.99. Conveniently, if you’ve yet to get your hands on Skyrim itself, it is half of on Steam this weekend as well. The Dawnguard expansion made its way to PC just about a month after it hit XBox Live. Sadly, it looks like PlayStation 3 gamers will have to wait a little longer. Bethesda also announced that the PlayStation 3 version of Dawnguard is not yet in a presentable state and will not be released before that. No estimated time of release was given.

Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode II Review
July 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Sonic The Hedgehog 4 Episode II is finally here. After a year of delay, though the fans might not be excited for this game after seeing Sonic Generations which was inspired by a certain Sonic fan game that actually appeared to be better than the first Episode of Sonic 4. We can tell you that it still holds true today with Sonic The Hedgehog 4, Episode II, an averagely polished platformer that may not fall into the category “The Sonic Cycle” games, but certainly falls short of any of the 2D sidescrolling classics we’ve come to know and love, missing the presentation and uniqueness of the original Genesis classics or even the Sonic Rush series, we can easily call the Sonic The Hedgehog 4 saga the most lackluster Sonic sidescrollers since the Sega Game Gear games.

Activision says that the map will be available at launch as a pre-order bonus from “participating retailers”. This bonus map, a reimagined version of the original from the first Black Ops will be available as a bonus download for the PS3, XBox 360 and PC (including Steam!).
