The 2009 New York Comic Con is kicking off this weekend, and SouthPeak Games plans on making their presence felt, throwing everything from space bears to live-action velvety assassins at convention goers.
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.
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]
First SouthPeak delivers Things on Wheels to the Xbox Live Arcade, and now they’re dropping Roogoo on it. What is Roogoo? According to SouthPeak and developer SpiderMonk, Roogoo is a frantic puzzle game in which you try to drop geometrical shapes through rotating discs in order to save the planet Roo and the Roogoo race, which look like cute little teddy bears you just want to cuddle. According to Symantec, Roogoo is adware that installs a Layered Service Provider that monitors network traffic. I’ll take the second one please. Roogoo should be available for Xbox Live Arcade and PC this spring, and I’ll buy it simply for the fact that it has a cheerful bear flying across the bottom of the screen pooping rainbows. That’s all I ever wanted.
