    Re: ? This Week on XBLA: Trials Evolution (4/18/12) ?

    I just finished Fez. It's really good, and I was surprised at the complexity of some of the puzzles. I only collected about half of the cubes, so I think there are still quite a few parts of the map that I haven't even seen. There are secrets hidden everywhere throughout the map, but they're so obscure that you basically have to stop and take notes around every corner to figure out how to solve them. If you're a fan of old-school adventure games, you'll probably like it.

    Unfortunately, the game has some pretty severe performance issues. It lags and stutters like crazy, and if you're not careful you can glitch through the ground and fall to your death without even trying. There are several scenes where intentional graphical glitches are part of the atmosphere of the game, but those parts actually caused my console to freeze up, and after waiting like 5 minutes to see if it was an intentional bug, I had to do a hard reset on the console to fix it. I started wondering if the developers were just trying to troll the players "Eternal Darkness" style or something, but I guess it's just a really buggy game.

    I can't figure out how to translate the numbers or letters no matter how hard I try, but I did figure out the tetris symbols. I have about 55 cubes right now.
