Fez Friday is coming
A rather flashy announcement (seriously, don’t click this if you're at risk for seizures) recently appeared on Polytron’s official website announcing the official release date for the long delayed Fez on what they are calling Fez Friday the 13th.
The Xbox 360 exclusive will just make it out before the end of the month.
So what's the logical response to being tricked into eating your own parents in a bowl of chili? Well, we don’t really know, but Tenorman is handling it by stealing an Xbox 360 hard drive from the South Park boys with an army of ginger robots. If you want to help Cartman, Kenny, Stan, and Kyle get it back, then you’ll get your chance before the month is over.

If you were to ask a fighting game fan if they wanted to see the combatants of Street Fighter and Tekken go at it five years ago, they would probably say "Definitely!" then quickly add, “But it will never happen.”
The Xbox 360's "architecture" is said to be the cause for the missing feature.
When Street Fighter X Tekken was released last Tuesday, many players found out that the Xbox 360 version didn't include four player co-op mode - which allows you and a friend to team up locally and take on another team online - despite it being mentioned as a feature in the instructional manual and being available on the PlayStation 3 version.
Major Nelson confirms the rumored changes.
Earlier today an anonymous source tipped off xbox360achievements.org that some changes are coming to the total number of Gamerscore points and achievements Xbox Live Arcade titles can have. Starting on April 1, each XBLA title can carry double the number of achievement points, going from 200 to 400, and 10 more total achievements, increasing from 20 to 30. Major Nelson has since confirmed this information, also revealing that starting in June, all XBLA games will mandatorily carry 400 Gamerscore points.
The inaugural title from the new studio is coming to PC and XBLIG.
Bidogames, a new studio comprised of two people, has announced plans to release its first independent game on PC and Xbox Live's Indie Games service. Titled, Nioki Adventure, the game will feature a Terraria-influenced experience.
The package comes with two family friendly games.
Microsoft released the Xbox 360 Special Edition 4GB Kinect Family Bundle today for $299.99. The bundle includes a glossy white Xbox 360 4GB console, white Kinect sensor, white Xbox 360 wireless controller, a three month Gold subscription to Xbox Live and a copy of Kinect Sports and Kinect Adventures.
The previously announced app is finally on its way.
Back when the new Xbox dashboard was revealed, a variety of apps were promised for the system, but not yet deliver. Among those was HBO and their HBO GO service. With February coming to a close, the app is still unavailable, but we now finally have an official release date.
The latest dashboard update gives the indie scene more attention.
Last fall, a dashboard update changed the layout of the Xbox 360 interface to the new metro style currently being used. Among the various problems the new layout presented, such as connection problems with the UFC app, was the way indie games were promoted, in that they weren't. XBLIGs were buried under various menus and sub categories, making the task of finding them a quest in itself.
