It's getting there: Fez rated by ESRB
Phil Fish's Fez contractions continue, with the game finally being rated by the ESRB. It was also rated by Europe's PEGI board in December, but has yet to hit the Australian boards. So, expect labor to last for a little while longer. The long-in-development (yet award-winning) game now has a ...
'Everything's happening now:' Indie Game: The Movie at Sundance

Fez delayed (again) to early 2012

Fez was inspired by Ico's minimalism and 'lonely isolation'
Polytron's Fez has been such a long time coming, designer Phil Fish explained at Fantastic Arcade this weekend (where Fez won the above Audience Choice award), because "we've had no points of reference for what our 2D/3D 'moment to moment' play is." While there are other games that involve moving ...
