It was just this past Friday that we reported on Rovio's tantalizing teaser for an upcoming announcement in New York City. An announcement happening seven hours from now, involving Toys'R'Us and Star Wars. Thanks to the crack investigative journalism of the Gamezebo news team, and a stolen time machine, we've managed to uncover the details of Angry Birds' next merchandising move. Wait, what? This just in: I'm getting word it wasn't a time machine that helped us...it was the internet.
Yesterday, we published an in-depth interview with the team behind Sword of Fargoal 2, chronicling the journey from classic roguelike to modern sequel. What you didn't see in the article, however, was our persistent line of questioning about the much-teased secret $140,000 stretch goal. At the time, Jeff McCord wouldn't budge. Then, after the article hit the site, something peculiar happened.
For about a week, Square Enix has been tantalizing fans of the their offbeat Nintendo DS RPG The World Ends With You with prospects of more news for the IP.

Forcing their computer time forward a few days, super sleuths revealed an outline of the game's iconic box art. The hunt for info was on.
