Talking Point What Are You Playing This Weekend? (June 18th)
A turtle-y good weekend
Is it a scorcher where you are, readers? It certainly has been in the UK this week. But the video game news has been pretty hot too! Hollow Knight: Silksong is alive with a brand new trailer! There are details of a rumoured new Fire Emblem game surfacing online.
About The Game
The world has fallen under the dominion of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a sinister corporation that has monopolized the planet's very life force as Mako energy.
In the urban megalopolis of Midgar, an anti-Shinra rebel group calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their campaign of resistance.
Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra's elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the rebels, unaware that he will be drawn into an epic battle for the fate of the planet, while having to come to terms with his own lost past.
This game is a port of the original FINAL FANTASY VII.
The following extra features are included:
- 3x speed mode
- Ability to turn battle encounters off
- Battle enhancement mode

The story of Final Fantasy VII is still one of the best in the series. However like the review states, the software is just showing it's age. Unlike a Mario game or other 8 or 16 bit games, the choice to use (now antiquated) 3D here makes the game look and more importantly feel old. I'd really only recommend it for people who haven't played at all, to check this off their list.
