Roogoo Now In Delicious PC Flavour

3:20AM Mike Fahey | SouthPeak’s Xbox Live Arcade adorable bear-creature puzzler Roogoo is now available for the PC wherever fine PC games are sold. Released earlier this month via Xbox Live, Roogoo is addictive as it is cute. Just ask SouthPeak CRO Melanie Mroz. “Roogoo is a fun, family friendly puzzle game that is as addictive as it is cute”, said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak Games. “Not only does the game get progressively more challenging to play, but it also gets harder and harder to put down”. The PC version, which retails for $AU 20.80 (boxes aren’t free!), and features all 45 levels of the XBLA version, as well as split-screen multiplayer. Awww, remember back when we used to play multiplayer games together on the PC? We were such dorks back then. More »

Step Inside The World Of Rubik’s Cube

12:40AM Mike Fahey | It’s been 25 long years since the Rubik’s cube graced a game console, and 1983’s Rubik’s Cube for the Atari 2600 hardly did the little puzzle justice. Now the Game Factory and developer Two Tribes is getting a chance at solving the Rubik’s video game puzzle with Rubik’s World for the Nintendo DS and Wii. The game will invite players to step inside the cube to experience a collection of puzzle games based around Cube concepts, with both versions containing their own unique lineup of mini-games, from assembling 3D objects to navigating mazes. The Wii version will support four players at once and features an online message board, while the DS version will utilise the wireless connection to connect to a community for the game. I’d assume that somewhere in there they’ll include an actual Rubik’s cube for you to solve, hopefully allowing for my two favourite solving methods – sticker swapping and violent disassembly. We’ll find out this Spring!
