Also to be playable, representing old-world media, a bunch of traditional  antique non-stereoscopic videogames that don’t even use headtracking at all!

Ha ha ha! Whatever!

It’s been a great month for games so far, here are some of our faves.

Critter Crunch is a *beautiful* Magical Drop-style puzzle game for PS3.  The attention to detail is spectacular, and the game is a blast to play.  Check out the demo available tomorrow (10/22) on PSN.  Great job Capybara! $6.99 on PSN. (Full disclosure: the gang at Capybara are friends of ours and are super awesome people.)

On the other side of the spectrum, Loren Schmidt’s Star Guard is an uber low-res ..read more

Partly inspired by I Get Your Fail, and so you can share with us the pain and pleasure of game development, here’s a collection of 26 chosen Fez development screenshots and fun glitches that occurred during the past two and a half years. In chronological order.

A month ago, Donna and Leland from Electric Playground (G4TV) came to the Polyplex to talk with us, and it’s just been posted on their website.

Jump to the 6 minute mark for our interview and some new game footage!

Good news for the lady folk, Tuhd the Troll and other black t-shirt aficionados : we got new shirts! All Gomez colors are now available in lady versions, and we added a black-colored one by popular demand (and because we wanted one too).

Take a look at the updated Polyshop, and thanks again for supporting the development of Fez.

Polytron has no comment on this matter for now. All options are being considered and analyzed by a large mainframe. For the time being, we are concentrating our efforts on XBLA.

Jaguar seems unlikely.
