SouthPeak Games announces Roogoo for XBLA and PC
From what I understand, this is a multi-player puzzle game that has the player guiding falling blocks onto a rotating disk in order to lead the people of planet Roo to salvation. Apparently the blocks are supposed to be meteors of some sort, too. Hm, that doesn’t sound like anything I’ve heard of before…
Anyway, the art looks pretty cool, and I’m sure that the whole 3D-disk-spinning thing will be pretty neat. SouthPeak promises solid game mechanics and innovative gameplay, too! Expect this one to come out around April.

Word has come to us that SouthPeak games is releasing their first XBox Live game in the form of Load Inc.’s Things on Wheels. The game will be a “pure arcade title placing players at the helm of radio-controlled (“RC”) cars as they race through a gigantic Florida Art Deco house filled with “tracks” comprised of everyday household items – and more.” No word yet on what the “and more” is, but trust us we’ll keep you up to date on all the searing details…or not.
The game sounds like it could be a pretty fun racer since Load Inc. is responsible for the somewhat decent Mad Tracks and know how to make a racing game. Plus any company that lists their two major cares as gaming and their coffee machine can’t be all bad as gaming and coffee machines are two of my major cares in the world too. Still, SouthPeak’s CEO, Melanie Mroz, saying that RC racing had never been done before kind of negates all those RC racers that had come before, don’t you think? What about the Micro Machines, Ms. Mroz? How easily we forget.
