Having finally played and completed Final Fantasy X-2 after all these years, I find that it is neither as bad as its detractors have painted it, nor is it as good as its fanbase says it is. It's not as good as its predecessor, but it's far from being the worst entry in the series, as some would have you believe.

It's one thing for some random fan to come up with a particularly interesting mod. It's yet another for a game's lead designer to make one, putting it out for all to use, free of charge. Joshua Sawyer, lead designer of Fallout: New Vegas, has done just that.

If there's one thing gamers love, besides video games that is, it is merchandise. Special editions of games come with all sorts of silly bonuses for those willing to pay a little extra, from Halo 3's Master Chief helmet to Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword's golden Wii remote. Konami, never one to turn down more money, contributes to this in its own way with a special hardware bundle for Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D.

Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is a complete 3DS remake of Metal Gear Solid 3, and there have already been several announcements as to changes the game has gone through to better take advantage of the hardware.

Capcom's brought a lot of games to Xbox Live, many of them remakes of gaming classics from the company's past. However, they've released so many that getting all of them would be an expensive ordeal. Thankfully, Capcom will be lowering that bar of entry with the upcoming Capcom Digital Collection, which will put eight of their Xbox Live games onto a single disc for a comparatively low $39.99.

Stranger's Wrath, the Xbox's Oddworld-based action adventure, released to critical acclaim in 2005, with many praising its innovation and graphics. By today's standards though, those graphics are a bit... ugly. After being announced in 2010, an updated version of the game, with HD textures and more, will finally be released on the Playstation Network on December 27th.

Mario Kart 7, the latest entry in the Mario Kart series, has just released for the 3DS and has already received plenty of critical praise. It would seem the popular racing franchise still has some tread on its tires, as Mario Kart 7 has managed impressive sales numbers in only one week.

Everyone likes free stuff, and many people like Tomb Raider. It stands to reason, then, that quite a few people would enjoy getting Tomb Raider: Underworld for free. Starting today, they can, provided they're a Playstation Plus subscriber.

Orcs Must Die! was a unique blend of third-person action and tower defense and a delightful experience for those who played it. Though the PC version of the game has had DLC for some time now, it won't be until later this December that Xbox 360 owners will finally get a taste of Orcs Must Die's "Lost Adventures" DLC.
