    If indie Polytron's dimensional-shifting Fez isn't on your radar yet ... well, you need to call whoever you've got running your radar and have some stern words. Honestly, in this economy, your operator should be happy just to have a job.As a final test, watch the above trailer for Fez. If it doesn't appear on your radar then, you'll know it's time to let your radar technician go ... just like we're about to fire our guy that's supposed to tell us when our metaphors have become too protracted.

  • Rumor: Fez dev site hints at possible XBLA release

    It's been quite some time since we've had any sort of substantial news on the Fez front, but if a screen and (somewhat vague) hint on developer Polytron's website is to be trusted, it looks like we should hear "something wonderful" in the near future.Posting just the image you see above and the headline, "SOMETHING AWESOME THIS WAY COMES," the 2008 Independent Games Festival winner (in "Excellence in Visual Art") clearly intends (at the very least) rampant speculation over the inclusion of a tiny green "A" -- like a certain console's controller button you may know -- in the lower right of the massive, hilariously mistranslated, text box. We've put in word to both Polytron and Microsoft for word on this and will let you know if and when we hear something back.[Via Geekadelphia]
