Dragon Quest X was initially a Nintendo Wii game. Then it was ported to the Wii U and PC. Now it's being released on the iPad. Is this our best chance for the game to finally be localised in English?

Escape Reality. Live the Fantasy; that's the slogan plastered on the back of the box. It's also the statement of intention for Square Enix, who desparately needed this complete remake of the original Final Fantasy XIV to work and to engage people on a very deep level to the point where it becomes a second life. The good news is that Square Enix has largely succeeded. This new Final Fantasy XIV is the kind of game you can lose months to, and fine proof that MMOs can work on console.

Consider this for a minute - if you deconstruct a game to its very core you'll get something that is perhaps more primitive than we'd like to admit. For all the progress that we claim the games industry has made, the ideas behind the games we are playing are as simple as in the 80's... and that's before you make the argument that games have regressed.

EA's track record with free-to-play mobile games has been spotty. At one end of the spectrum is Real Racing 3, which manages to be a good racing game despite the monetisation model.

At the other end of the spectrum is Tetris Blitz and Plants Vs. Zombies 2 - games that fail to break away from begging players for microtransactions and are lesser games for it.
