My favourite game
Back in the year 2001 my older brother bought a used PS1 system from a friend of his that didn't really play games. With the PS1 he got a large cardboard box with mostly demo games, but among the games was Final Fantasy VII. Finding that game would come to mark my birth as a gamer.

Story: The story follows Cloud, former SOLDIER now mercenary, working with the terrorist group AVALANCHE as they are attacking a MAKO-reactor. Initially he is just in it for the money, but as his missions with AVALANCHE continues he gets confronted by his past and have to go on a ... Read the rest of this Review
