We will update this throughout the day when new announcements become available. Read more for details ...

Fez (XBLA)

Explore a serene and beautiful open-ended world full of secrets, puzzles and hidden treasures. Unearth the mysteries of the past and discover the truth about reality and perception. Change your perspective and look at the world in a different way.

Navigate 3D structures from four distinct 2D perspectives. Gomez, the main character in this platformer, is a 2D creature living in a 2D world. Or is he? When the existence of a mysterious third dimension is revealed to him, Gomez is sent out on a journey that will take him to the very end of time and space.

Fez is available on Xbox Live Arcade for 800 Microsoft points ($10).

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir (3DS)

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir comes with the "diary of faces," a 16-page augmented-reality book that transforms the Nintendo 3DS system into the Camera Obscura. When the "diary of faces" is viewed through the lens of the system's built-in camera, it allows players to discover unique experiences that advance the game's story and add eerie interactive elements. Some pages contain movies that reveal past events that occurred in the haunted house where Maya is trapped, while others cause evil spirits to seemingly emerge from the book and into players' own real-world surroundings.

Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir includes additional modes that highlight the built-in 3D photo capabilities of Nintendo 3DS. Spirit Photography mode enhances everyday pictures with haunting visions, while Spirit Check reveals spirits haunting you and your friends. In Spirit Challenge mode, faces of your photographed friends mystically appear on evil spirits in the game, and challenge players to battle against them.

A third mode called Cursed Pages offers additional game content featuring supernatural twists. Players can confront strange masks that are haunted by a boy's spirit or complete memory challenges to identify and dispel an evil doll spirit.
