Final Fantasy VII is arguably the greatest game (if not RPG) in console gaming history. Unfortunately, Square made it very clear recently that an FF7 remake is not a priority to them (after years of stringing it out and teasing us).

The Terrible Lure Of Slim Technology: Why Thicker Can Be Better [Opinion]

Slim. Sexy. Thin. Modern. These are words that are often used to describe sleek new devices with thin profiles.
