4/1: Fez II MIGHT be back in development

After a particularly contentious exchange with Marcus Beer, the “Annoyed Gamer,” Phil Fish announced that he was canceling Fez II and leaving game development altogether. Today, on April 1 of all days, Phil Fish has revealed that Fez II is back on track:

Is this a cruel joke? Or has Fish really decided to resume his game development career? Considering the fact that he uses a picture of Andy Kaufman as his Twitter avatar, we may never know for sure. Though I know plenty of gamers would prefer it to be the latter option.

Warpback: What We Played in March 2014

We were busy little gamers in March here at Warp Zoned. We spent plenty of time in South Park, used lots of amazing new powers in InFamous: Second Son, got ready for our Titan in TitanFall, and even snuck around a bit in Thief. We also dipped into some of our favorite older games as well, keeping ourselves – and our thumbs – busy as always. Read on to see the complete list of everything we played this last month! (more…)

Watch This! Every Super NES title screen in alphabetical order

Do you remember that fantastic YouTube video that compiled the Start Screens of every NES game in alphabetical order?

4/1: Optimus Prime DLC is NOT in the works for TitanFall

Ah, April 1. The time of the year where we report on what’s not happening in the world of video games. Kicking things off this year is IGN’s annual gag, which is not an announcement trailer for the first bit of downloadable content for TitanFall.

The “Prime Pack” is actually a brilliant piece of crossover marketing and I almost wish it were real. The prank places Optimus Prime, complete with his laser cannon and trusty laser axe, in a middle of a hectic TitanFall battle: “One shall stand, Titans shall fall.”

Seriously, how perfect is that? EA, Respawn, and Activision (the current rights holder to Transformers video games) should get on this right away.
