New Loot! (#28)

Hubby's been on a game-buying binge, so we have some new Xbox One games now. And Steam had a Square Enix sale, so I grabbed a few Final Fantasy games for half off. Seriously, Steam will be the ruination of me.

Developed by Square Enix

Released 1990/2014 

*Rated E 10 for Everyone 10+*

Holy crap, I'm already in love with the cuteness of this game. Definitely one of the best games I've bought and I think everyone who loves the retro, nostalgic feel of old, crappy graphics should grab this PC game. It's the FF game I'm gonna start my kids on. It's that good/fun/adorable. lol

***Final Fantasy VII***

Published by Square Enix

Developed by Square Enix

Released 1998/2013

*Rated T for Teen*

After reading the reviews for this on Steam, I wonder if buying it there was a mistake. It appears Squeenix is rather protective of this particular title and playing it not only requires an active internet connection, you also HAVE to be connected to the Square Enix site in order to play. This seems to cause many problems. I haven't tried myself yet, so I can't say from personal experience. Still, I'm concerned.

***Lightning Returns***
Final Fantasy XIII

Published by Square Enix

Developed by Square Enix

PC edition released 2015

*Rated T for Teen*

I've enjoyed FFXIII-2 so much (for 360 and PC) and Lightning Returns on 360, so I knew it was just a matter of time before I grabbed the Steam version of LR:FFXIII. Well, it went on sale for half off and I gave in to temptation. It came with all the DLC schemata (outfits for Lightning that have battle perks) and there are a few mods for this game too, so... BONUS! ☺

***Forza 5***

Published by Microsoft Studios

Developed by Turn 10 Studios 

Released 2013

Xbox Exclusive 

*Rated E for Everyone*

Hubby bought an Xbone even though he already had one. He wanted to gift the console (and a copy of Fallout 4) to my cousin, so he grabbed a console that included a few other games. This was one of them. It's for his collection, since I don't particularly care for racing games.

***RYSE: Son of Rome***
Legendary Edition

Published by Microsoft Studios

Developed by Crytek 

Released 2013
Microsoft Exclusive (Xbox One/PC only)

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

This came with an Xbone that hubby bought recently. I've been eyeballing this game on Steam, so I wasn't averse to acquiring it, though I'm not sure I'm OK with it being the Xbone edition instead of the PC edition. I'll make do. lol

This is the legendary edition so it has a bunch of DLC (all download codes) included.

***Sunset Overdrive***

Published by Microsoft Studios 

Developed by Insomniac Games

Released 2014

Xbox Exclusive 

*Rated M for Mature 17+*

Hubby bought an Xbox One and this came with it. I watched gameplay videos of this one and it seemed funny, the way Borderlands is funny. I'll probably give it a chance.

Until next time...
