When we play games online, the last thing we think about is how vulnerable the information is that we submit to create an account, play the game and interact with other users.

Famous Japanese game developer Square Enix is rather fond of re-releasing games. All of the old Final Fantasy games have been redone for at least one new platform. If it’s a classic role-playing game (RPG) from Square Enix, you can count on it being re-released at some point in the future. Chrono Trigger is no exception, having been already released for the Super Nintendo and Nintendo DS. However, today it comes ...
