Fez Coming to Steam


Fez is a great game on the Xbox Live Arcade, albeit it does have a few technical issues, one of them being a very big one.

This might just be an XBLA issue especially because of the cost of releasing additional patches beyond the first 'free' one allowed by Microsoft.

The news is a bit old, but I just learned that the Fez will be coming to Steam. This should make patches easier and those in-game glyphs can be translated now with a quick Google search.

Without giving away any spoilers to the game, there a few items you acquire in addition to the reality shifting fez. Why not add different hats to the mix? It could be amusing. Above are just a few ideas.

Happy Wars


If you own an Xbox 360 and haven't downloaded Happy Wars from the Xbox Live Arcade, I recommend doing that now. Happy Wars is free to play, but as with all free to play games you can give yourself a boost with some micro-transactions.

I felt this comic fitting since the game has just recently reached TWO-MILLION players. That's a pretty big milestone.

I downloaded the game when it first was available late last year and enjoyed it for the most part. There was a problem back then though.

Matchmaking.

It was difficult getting in to matches and often I'd get dropped mid-match.

Apparently the match making system has been improved since then, so I'll have to dive back into the game to see what all the new updates are about.

There's a leveling system with this game, so new players will have it pretty rough at the beginning. What's nice is that matches can get as large as 15 vs. 15 PVP; potentially 30 live competitors with the remaining slots being filled with AI.

There is a single player campaign, but the game is driven by it's multiplayer.

And if competitive gaming isn't your thing, there's also a cooperative mode that has you team up with at least three other players to face off against the CPU.

There's also some new special modes with the recent update and level caps have been increased for weapons.

Word of warning. Watch out for bridges.
