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 »XBLA This Week: Aces Of The Galaxy And Roogoo
2:40AM Mike Fahey | Hooray! It’s finally Roogoo time! Announced back in February from SouthPeak, this is the first Xbox Live Arcade game to feature rainbow-pooping teddy bears, and that’s all you really need to know about it, aside from the fact that it’s a puzzle game involving rotating platforms and falling meteors. Bears pooping rainbows is joined by Sierra Online’s Aces of the Galaxy, which is a classic arcade space shooter with 2 player co-op both online and off, as well as a temporal shift feature that allows you to slow down time in mid-dogfight. Both games will be available this Wednesday for 800 Microsoft points a pop. If I had to choose one…well, I’d follow my heart, which apparently leads to a teddy bear’s digestive system. Gross, but cute. This week on Arcade: Aces of the Galaxy and RooGoo [Xbox Live's Major Nelson] More »
