4J has been vigilant about not only trying to achieve feature parity with its PC game counterpart, but giving Minecraft on Xbox 360 unique content that console gamers can really relate to. Yet Minecraft on consoles works because of those things. Its spacial limitations, in addition to a new developer in 4J Studios, meant it wasn’t even the same Mojang game. Mojang’s out-of-nowhere PC masterpiece found much more success on Xbox 360 than most anyone anticipated. Release Date: Ap| Developer: Polytron Corporation 23. It borrows liberally from many things, but Fez is still unlike anything else on Xbox 360. Mind-bending puzzles, insane alien languages, and risk-free exploration make Fez’s delightful, nostalgic world a joy to wander. Its reverence for video games, the lovely soundtrack, hilarious inside jokes, and mysterious wonder are the claws that dig Fez’s hooks in deep. What you see is what you get, so regardless of the physical logic of a space, its visual appearance makes it easy to understand where you can go and how you can get there. It disrupts your understanding of perspective by creating opportunity in the way the world has changed. The world, which exists in 3D but presents itself in 2D, can be rotated 90 degrees with each pull of the triggers.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s South Park role-playing game isn’t so much a fantastic licensed title as much as it is Season 18 of the long-running satirical TV series all by itself.
