Well, this is a pleasant surprise. With Microsoft recently detailing itsArcade NEXTblock of Xbox Live Arcade games, I had written offFezas not coming out in the immediate future. Thankfully, it’ll be here in only a short couple of weeks: the release is set for Friday, April 13.

For 800 Microsoft Points,you can finallyget to play this long-awaited game. AlthoughFezhas been in development for quite some time, I feel like I know very little about it — which is a good thing, don’t get me wrong. I’m just dying to see what the fuss is about already.
