Easte, it may be but it's a bit of a sad day today. Dave Arneson, co-creator (with Gary Gygax) of Dungeons and Dragons has died aged 61.

The amazing thing is that without Dave and Gary (and a few others in the computer sciences fields), we totally wouldn't have any kind of gaming. Dave and Gaz brought strategy and ludology particularly to a whole new level.

I know I always say that "without so-and-so we wouldn't have this" or "we owe a debt to blah, blah, blah" but guys, one day, you will be blessed, influenced and (hopefully) the inspiring creators of games for a whole new generation.

I think I told you that Gary died a while ago (last year) even so, they were a force to be reckoned with in their field. They inspired me to teach you and I hope if you get the merest flicker of time, you might just have a go at D&D for yourselves.

Well, it had to happen...

Square Enix has plans to revisit Final Fantasy VII, according to producer Tetsuya Nomura.

The company recently announced that the upcoming Blu-ray release of Advent Children Complete will bring the curtain down on that saga, and is looking to expand on Final Fantasy VII for its next project.

A feature length film, PS2 spinoff and a PSP prequel have already been released as tie-in material to the PlayStation original but it appears that Square is not done yet, with Numura already planning "the next product in the compilation".

A FFVII remake has been rumoured for some time, but could be a long way off with Square Enix currently preparing Kingdom Hearts and two Final Fantasy XIII for release.

Zomg! Will Miss laugh or cry? Answers on a postcard please...
