Before I get to Final Fantasy 13-2, let me explain a few things.

There are three things I don’t understand in life. Economics is the most gaping chasm in my knowledge: if Greece is bankrupt, why doesn’t it just print more money?

The second is why Square-Enix keeps refusing to remake Final Fantasy 7, the best video game of the 1990s, but is happy to rehash Chrono Trigger, the second best game of the 1990s, on Nintendo DS and iPhone.

The third, by coincidence, also relates to the Japanese gaming giant. I can’t comprehend why it would amalgamate elements from both these iconic titles, then try and staple them on to the sequel of the worst single player entry in the Final Fantasy series so far.

HTC HD7 review: first impressions

The first thing that strikes you about the HTC HD7 Windows Phone 7 device, just like its Android counterpart the HTC Desire HD, is its screen. It is 4.3”, which gives you a good bit of extra width on the standard smartphone size. What exaggerates the size of the HTC HD7 screen though is its design, and although it’s not quite as sleek as the HTC Desire HD, when it’s in your hand it still feels like you’re holding nothing but screen. Read on for more of our first look here with our HTC HD7 review: first impressions.
