Gamers have long loved the entertainment value in video games, but for some, those games provide more than just a distraction. Games open opportunities for relationship building, teamwork experiences, and ways to learn and grow.
And thanks to a new study, it looks like at least one game, Tetris, may even have the power to help people who experience PTSD flashbacks. What the study found is if people play Tetris right after a flashback experience, the game has the ability to interfere with the power of a traumatic memory and help heal the person of their PTSD episodes.
Final Fantasy 14 Mac Sales Suspended, Refunds Issued
Every once in a while, a developer will release a game on a new platform and discover that the title experiences game-breaking issues. Usually, said developer can make a few quick updates to fix those issues, but other times the game is so broken, the developer has not other choice than to recall the game and offer a refund.
This was the case when Square Enix released Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn for Mac late last month. The title was so fractured, the developer has suspended all sales of the game and is offering any gamer who purchased the game a full refund. Hopefully, for Final Fantasy fans, the developer can make the needed updates quickly so gamers can have another go at it.
