I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.

If you thought Final Fantasy X-2's trio of pop star warriors had great skin before, you ain't never seen complexion like this. Zoom in as much as you like, you ain't gonna find a pore.

Square Enix today released a new complement of screens depicting FF X-2 HD Remaster, the other half of the FF X/X-2 HD Remaster line coming to PlayStation 3 and PS Vita later this year in North America and Europe.

Both games have received a fresh coat of paint atop their respective International Editions, with the content relatively untouched aside from visuals. They're bundled together on PS3, but sold separately on PS Vita.
