So how's it been going for indie dev Phil Fish and, more importantly, how many copies has one of XBLA's loveliest games managed since launch?

Playing Fez is like falling down a bottomless virtual well. There’s the rushing sensation and stomach churning sense of panic, the screaming, the throwing out of arms to grab at the walls. Eventually, though, you stop flailing around and start to look about you at the rapidly passing environment, maybe even enjoy the sensation of flying. You might have a little midair tumble or try a swan dive. There’s no getting around the fact that you’re still falling into a dark pit of the unknown but, hey, you might as well relax and enjoy it, right?

Five years in the making and multiple indie awards later, Fez is finally on Xbox Live Arcade… but has it been worth the wait? Martin Mathers wraps his head around the dimension-bending puzzler and feels all the smarter for it.

No beating around the bush - we've been waiting for Fez to come out for what seems like an age and now, it's finally here. FINALLY. NOW. TODAY. So go download it and maybe we won't have to have a go at you for missing out. Seriously. Go. NOW.

What's that, you say? FEZ, one of our most anticipated Xbox Live Arcade games has finally got a release date? It's coming out in just two weeks time? Well, that's made our day – time to break out the chocolate buttons and get our celebration on. Woot!

What, you want to see someone play through the trial version of a game that's not even out yet? Then click through to watch footage from Fez, the upcoming XBLA platform puzzler that's had us excited for a very, very long time indeed. Fingers crossed that means it's going to be coming out soon, eh?

Or should that be twistin'/turnin'/rotatin' gorgeous? Whichever you prefer, there's no denying that this long-awaited XBLA title is still looking as lovely now as it did oh-so-long ago. And it's coming in early 2012! Time to get really excited, we reckon.
