As a huge fan, I was so excited to see the Final Fantasy Tactics Complete Soundtrack released! It’s got all 71 tracks from the original game, plus 31 songs we’ve never heard before – all in one album. Just a heads-up though, you won’t find it on Spotify or Apple Music *yet*. Right now, it’s only available on Steam and iTunes. If you click the iTunes link on an iPhone or iPad, it’ll open in Apple Music. On a computer browser, it shows the price as $23.99. But, if you already own Final Fantasy Tactics – The Ivalice Chronicles on Steam, you get a little discount – it’s $22.98 with the bundle!

When I first started playing, I’d already noticed people comparing it to games like The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and Gothic – which, sadly, I hadn’t had a chance to play. I’d say the Elex games are probably the closest thing I can compare it to. Keeping those comparisons in mind, and after reading some reviews, I was anticipating a game that started very open-ended, with a dark and realistic fantasy world, and where my character would feel quite vulnerable at the beginning. And that’s exactly what I found.

When you start playing, it quickly becomes apparent that People of Note isn’t a traditional rhythm game, but it’s clearly designed by musicians for musicians. The game’s every detail is based on musical terms. This makes explaining the battle system a bit challenging, as it relies on vocabulary that might not be familiar to those without a music background. It’s not confusing *while* you’re playing, it just makes it harder to explain the mechanics.

Since its premiere at SXSW in March, Good Boy has been gaining a lot of attention. Both critics and viewers have been impressed by the film’s ingenious core idea.

I think even the best games aren’t perfect, and that’s especially true with something as huge as Team Cherry’s sequel. It’s surprisingly big in every way – the world, the story, and honestly, the sheer number of bosses is really impressive!

In April 2025, Colossal – a company specializing in bioscience and genetic engineering – announced its biggest achievement: three dire wolf pups that they said they had resurrected from extinction.

Another one is coming out this year: Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked, which is a bit of a long title for a really enjoyable four-player cooperative game. While Baldur’s Gate 3 is perfect for players who enjoy the detailed rules and complexity of D&D Fifth Edition, Battlemarked is a better fit for those looking for something easier to pick up-it’s a great game to play with children who aren’t ready for something like Baldur’s Gate 3, or for adults who don’t have hours to dedicate to a hobby like traditional D&D.

So, I was reading an interview with Burger King’s marketing chief, Joel Yashinsky, over on IGN, and apparently, they had to ditch the Creepy King. He explained that other places like McDonald’s were killing it with mascots that families loved, and to stay profitable, BK needed to go in that direction. Basically, the Creepy King just wasn’t bringing in enough business, so he had to go.

In a blog post on October 2nd on the Independent Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) Game Workers website, chairperson Spring McParlin-Jones and organizing officer Eugenia Peruzzo shared their enthusiasm about this news. This is significant, especially since a recognized union at ZA/UM could inspire other game developers in the UK who are seeking to organize and gain collective bargaining power. It’s a big deal, after all, particularly because ZA/UM’s recognized union could provide hope for other developers in the UK looking to gain collective power.
