Avengers Assemble at Comic-Con
In case you've been living under a rock, Marvel's Avengers are pretty hot right now. From Endgame's domination of the box-office earlier this year to this week's release of Spiderman: Far From Home, everyone is feeling the Marvel fever.

Sticking with Final Fantasy, Square Enix shocked plenty of us (not least my colleague Dom) by announcing a remaster of Final Fantasy 8. A game thought lost to the mists of time, it looks as though this under-appreciated entry will be making a comeback with some snazzy new features.
