Apple has just released their next major iOS update for all 64-bit compliant iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch devices. The new software update brings in tons of new features including Augmented Reality improvements, an improved iPad interface, and promises to be much faster and secure.
The size of the download required for the iOS 11 update depends on the device you’re upgrading. On an iPhone 7, the update weighs in at around 1.9GB. You will not need to install the update if you own an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X, since they ship with iOS 11 pre-installed.

Ever since Square Enix ported Final Fantasy VII to the PS4, I had been hoping that more Final Fantasy games from the PS1-era would get released. Today, out of the blue, Square Enix has announced they have released Final Fantasy IX on the PS4.
Final Fantasy IX will be sold at a discounted price until September 29th. However, I need to ask, why hasn’t Square Enix released Final Fantasy VIII on PS4 yet?
Final Fantasy IX is out now for PS1, PC, iOS and now PS4.

I know we jumped the gun a little bit yesterday by posting up about the Project Octopath Traveller demo release on the Nintendo Switch, but that was due to the fact that Nintendo waited a bit longer than usual to post the entire Nintendo Direct video up after its initial stream. Thankfully, the entire video is now up for everyone to view.
Without further ado, here is a look at the recent Nintendo Direct. It details new and upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS. Featured games in this video include Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Project Octopath Traveller, and it culminates in an all-new preview of Super Mario Odyssey. Enjoy.

When the initial lineup of Nintendo Switch were first revealed, the game that impressed me the most was Square Enix’s Project Octopath Traveller. Developed by the same team that made the Bravely Default games for the Nintendo 3DS, I felt the game had a unique art style that really stood out.
Today, during the Nintendo Direct broadcast, Nintendo revealed the newest trailer for Project Octopath Traveller and announced there will be a demo out on the Switch later tonight! Take a look at the new trailer!
Nintendo Switch owners will be able to download the Project Octopath Traveller demo for free later tonight. Square Enix is asking demo players to fill out a brief survey after completing it.
Project Octopath Traveller is coming in 2018 exclusively to the Nintendo Switch.
Let’s Play Catherine Parts 1-3 September 13, 2017

Very few games in my life have left as big an impression on me than Catherine by Atlus. On the one hand the game is an artistic puzzle game where you have to arrange unusual blocks to climb to the top of a seemingly never ending tower. On the other hand, it is a strongly written narrative giving the player the full control on its potential resolution.
We have been meaning to do a live Let’s Play of Catherine for quite some time now and now that the game is Backwards compatible on the Xbox One, the time has finally come for us to play it to 100% completion. That means we will be going for every Gold Trophy on each puzzle, every factoid and no unnecessary fatalities. Will we succeed? Watch and find out.
All gameplay footage is provided with full video commentary.
Catherine is out now for the Xbox 360 and PS3. The Xbox 360 version is backwards compatible with the Xbox One and the PS3 version can be streamed on the PlayStation Now service.
