Advent Children

It's been a long time since I blogged about a computer game. For the first month after I returned from Michigan, I played The Sims 2 daily. I watched the trailer for the new Tomb Raider game every other day. But that was about it.

I haven't played a Final Fantasy game in a while but watching Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children last week sparked my interest again. The CGI movie is based on arguably - or probably inarguably - the most popular installment of the series. Final Fantasy VII now has a movie and three additional games to its name. I only played VIII but that's okay; I read enough about VII to understand what was going on in the movie, which is, by the way, very much better than The Spirits Within from several years back.

The fight scenes are fluid, beautiful, just plain eye-popping. I watched several of them several times. And the music is pure FF style music. Nobou Uematsu did very nicely here.

Makes me want to dig out some old Final Fantasy games now.
