Aww Buddies, Fez is Showing Signs of Life!

Aww Buddies, Fez is Showing Signs of Life!

Let’s talk about Fez: the perpetually delayed indie game darling for XBLA. Guess what? Straight from the game’s designer, Phil Fish, we now know that Fez has finally been rated by the ESRB. He’s been posting about it on his Twitter:

“FEZ RECEIVES ESRB RATING: E for everyone, mild fantasy violence!”
“E FOR EVERYTHING IS REALLY HAPPENING!”

Granted, it’s now a day later and this rating still has not been posted on the official ESRB website, but this is still a great sign. The game was already rated in December by Europe’s PEGI board, so this is the next logical step. After years of delays and scattered screenshots, this is the most substantial “this might actually happen” news we’ve seen yet.

Ono Reenacts Scene From Street Fighter: The Movie

Man, I can’t get enough of the lovable troll we know as Yoshinori Ono. First, he gives us a PS3/Vita exclusive “Bad American Fat Boxart” version of Mega Man for Street Fighter x Tekken, and then he tops it off by recreating one of the cheesiest scenes from Street Fighter: The Movie.

Capcom-Unity just announced and confirmed that Pac-Man and Mega Man are coming to Street Fighter x Tekken as PS3 and Playstation Vita exclusive characters.

CES 2012: Hands on with Microsoft’s Flight

CES 2012: Hands on with Microsoft’s Flight

It’s been quite a while since Microsoft gave us a new Flight Simulator game.  Those original titles were famous as the most realistic flying experience you could have without dropping by an airfield.  As legend goes, many real-life pilots used the games as “at-home practice.” Microsoft’s new free-to-play title, Flight, is the next step for the series.  It’s trying to find the common ground between hardcore sim-freaks and the casual enthusiast.

CES 2012: Microsoft Announces Kinect for Windows

CES 2012: Microsoft Announces Kinect for Windows

At CES 2012, Microsoft finally announced that it was bringing the Kinect to Windows. The Xbox 360 version of the Kinect has reportedly shipped over 18 million units to date. That’s not surprising. The silent-but-massive casual player fanbase is absolutely in love with the device.

What makes the creation of a Windows-centric device interesting is how much attention Microsoft is paying to the ever-growing Kinect modding community.  These dedicated fans have been hard at work, tweaking the existing Kinect hardware to function far beyond its official capabilities. Modders have found ways to use it to play non-supported titles, such as Skyrim. Fashion designers have used it as part of their shows. Microsoft even has a campaign that shows the Kinect helping stroke and brain injury patients in rehabilitation centers. Basically, modders have made the Xbox 360’s Kinect a far more functional device.

Hey PS3 Owners, You Might Get A Lag Free Skyrim Soon!

Here we are in the beginning of 2012 just after an exciting end of 2011. Skyrim fever has begun to subside and many have jumped onto that new crack known as Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR for short).

However, many PS3 owners have had some trouble all their own with the multiple game of the year winning Elder Scrolls sequel. It has been reported since shortly after the games release that PS3 owners have experienced a hefty amount of lag due to large save files and some other issues (but mainly large save files). It has gotten so bad for many players that the game itself became unplayable due to the issue, even after old saves were deleted. There are many YouTube videos on the absurdness of this obviously game dooming bug, just type in “Skyrim lag ps3″ or something of its equivalent.
