Fez And The Power of Video Games As Art

This week's episode of Under10Hours features Fez, one of the most important independent video games I've ever played. With a game like Fez, you can bridge the gap for people who don't understand video games. I firmly believe that video games are art in their own way, and Fez is the perfect example of melding music, art direction and story into a project that is unabashedly its own thing; something that couldn't exist in any other medium. Watch the video to find out why.

Fez: looks looks shallow on the surface but very, very deep beneath the surface

This game is so good, i always come back to it every now and then. Even if it doesnt have a sequel, I know it will be thought of some day by someome and theyll be happy they did.

I had a folder on my computer full of all of my findings in the game, including deciphering its alphabet by looking at letter frequency of all of the examples I had screenshotted. My favorite puzzle is the red cube in the observatory, involving the little morse code red pixel you could see through the telescope.

I hear about this game time to time, probably give it a try. I'm open to trying new games nowadays.
