With the 2.0 redesign upon us, Nick has a chance to look back on the beginnings of the site and just how far we have come.
It’s hard to believe, but PixlBit has been around for almost two years at this point. Having just released the second version of the site, I can’t help but get nostalgic and look back on our beginnings and just how far we’ve come.

Before long I had a working prototype, but something still wasn’t right.

North American Tales fans will get a double dose of the popular JRPG in the coming months.

An embarrassingly bad handheld adaptation of the latest in the popular series.
After taking a hiatus from the wildly successful Sims series, I was fairly excited to jump back in with The Sims 3. Knowing fully well that the handheld 3DS experience would most likely trim back the offerings found in the PC version, I wanted to keep an open mind. Unfortunately, no amount of willingness to give the game a chance could have prepared me for the boring, sloppy mess I was about to encounter.
