Square Enix game director Tetsuya Nomura has elaborated on the choice to bring Final Fantasy 15 – previously known as Final Fantasy Versus 13 – to next-generation consoles instead of PS3, the original platform when the game was first announced in 2006.
In an interview with Famitsu (via Polygon), Nomura said Square Enix moved the game to Xbox One and PS4 because “the lifespan of the current generation of consoles was starting to pose a problem” to Square Enix. “We had originally thought about making this announcement last year, but due …

While the unique puzzles and platforming featured in the original Escape Goat made me a fan, the new map system being introduced in Escape Goat 2 immediately had me thinking of the 2D handheld Castlevania games.

I’m going to be perfectly honest with you guys; I’m not super into puzzle-platformers anymore. There is something about them that just doesn’t click with me like they did before. Except for 6180 The Moon. That game is rad.
6180 The Moon is a game that put me into a zen like trance while I sat there and jumped through the top of the screen and came up on the bottom. I got the chance to hang out with Jerome and Sun, the architects behind this chillingly peaceful experience. Check out …
