Let PixlBit get you up to speed on all things Final Fantasy XIII and XIII-2!
Final Fantasy is one of the most celebrated series in video game history. It spans 14 epic games across five console generations and is loved by fans around the world. But the funny thing about Final Fantasy is the fact that each adventure takes place in a completely different world with new lands to explore, party members to meet and villains to defeat.

There are even some accessories listed for future availability such as the Nintendo Power Pad and the infamous NES Power glove, which come with World Class Track Meet and Super Gloveball respectively.
Trash has never looked so good.
Janitors with an affinity for aerial acrobatics – say no more, I’m in. Dustforce is a peculiar concoction, simultaneously delivering serenity and insanity. It’s like a Siren luring in unsuspecting bystanders with its unprecedented beauty only to reveal an unnerving ferocity. Harboring difficulty on par with Super Meat Boy and N, Dustforce differentiates itself with its soothing melodic ambiance.
