Vandaag alweer twee Xbox Live Arcade-games!

Twee weken geleden kregen we maar één XBLA-titel, maar de week erna trakteerde Microsoft ons op twee verschillende spellen. Zo ook vandaag: de eerste game draagt alvast de naam Aces of the Galaxy en komt van Artech Studios, de welke eveneens verantwoordelijk was voor Boogie Bunnies. Het tweede spel daarentegen (met name Roogoo) is de eerste consolegame van SpiderMonk, dat in het verleden grotendeels GSM-titels ontwikkelde. Beide kosten 800 Microsoft Points elk en in de volgende alinea's van de officiële press release staat er meer informatie over de games die je sinds vanmiddag kon downloaden:

"Enjoy the frantic action of Aces of the Galaxy, an old fashioned arcade adrenaline-pumping shoot-em-up that allows players to save the Universe from the wicked Skurgian Empire. Players annihilate enemy ships with an impressive arsenal of upgradeable weapons including high-powered missile launchers, devastating torpedoes and the relentless chain gun. Battle intense waves of enemy Skurgians against a breathtaking outer space backdrop, and choose to fight alone or join up with a friend at home or via Xbox LIVE.

Roogoo updates the square peg in round hole premise to a whole new level. Help the Roogoo defeat their enemies, the evil Meemoo, in "Roogoo," a new and innovative action based-puzzler with addictive gameplay. Players line up multiple platforms on different levels to allow shaped blocks to pass through and once enough stack up, that particular shape closes off. A simple premise becomes more complicated as Meemoos begin to obstruct players' paths and butterflies attempt to steal blocks away. Players must swivel, roll and boost their way through 45 puzzle-filled levels alone or with up to four friends in cooperative party mode play. For those with a more competitive spirit, Roogoo offers a two-player multiplayer mode over Xbox LIVE where players battle to solve the same puzzle and can build up attacks to thwart their competitors' efforts."
