That&#8217;s just fourteen more sleeps!<\/p>\n<p>Fez features Gomez, a 2D character who suddenly finds himself in a 3D world, and the inevitably zany adventures that ensue. The gameplay swaps perspective between 2D and 3D as Gomez makes his way from one place to the next, a bit like Super Paper Mario.<\/p>\n<p>The launch comes almost five years after it was first announced in July 2007. Since then, the game has won a bunch of awards at the <a title=\"Company Information\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/forum\/showthread.php\/20967-IGF-Independent-Games-Festival\">Independent Game Festival<\/a>, Fantastic Arcade, Penny Arcade Expo, and Indicade, and was featured in the film, Indie Game: The Movie.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also been tagged at just 800 MSP, so there&#8217;s no excuse not to get it and love it forever. The game&#8217;s an XBLA exclusive for the moment, although other platforms are apparently under consideration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-31769\" title=\"Fez Game\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-80x45.jpg 80w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-170x96.jpg 170w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-297x167.jpg 297w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-530x298.jpg 530w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-625x351.jpg 625w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game-250x140.jpg 250w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Fez-Game.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/polytroncorporation.com\/fez\" target=\"_blank\">Polytron Corporation<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2D, meet 3D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":159,"featured_media":31770,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[31,2206,847,89,1933],"class_list":["post-35032","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-xbox","tag-active","tag-fez","tag-xbla","tag-xbox-live","tag-xbox-live-arcade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35032","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/159"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35032"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35032\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":35153,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35032\/revisions\/35153"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31770"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35032"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35032"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35032"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
