Roogoo and Aces of the Galaxy for XBLA News

Xbox 360 News by Robert Purchese

3 June, 2008

Microsoft is readying Roogoo and Aces of the Galaxy for release on Live Arcade tomorrow.

The former we quite liked when we fiddled around with it earlier this year. It has you guiding blocks through similarly-shaped holes in discs you rotate by using the triggers on your pad. Mess up and a beanstalk reaches the top of your screen and you have to start again.

It's a bit like being back in a nappy, but is relaxing, pleasingly challenging when the mechanics start ganging up on you, and is wrapped up in a cutesy Katamari style.

The other game, Aces of the Galaxy, is a typical shmup where you have to save space from the Skurgian baddies. Lots of big weapons and big booms.

Both cost 800 Microsoft Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60). Look for our thoughts in due course.

Certinaly more interesting than the pish weve had recently. I suspect they will be another in the 'Maybe for 400 pts, but im not stumping up 800' for that.

RooGoo looks like something XBLA is missing. More of the same, please, unless it sucks.

I thought these two looked quite interesting. Hopefully they'll make up for last week's shambles ^__^

Both games look good.

At the very least, these two will give us something different in the puzzle and shooter areas.

Aces of the Galaxy looks like Starfox, could be interesting. I don't quite get what Roogoo is, but it's been getting a lot of positive press so I'll give it a go.

I bought Aces and i almost bought Roogoo. Both of them are pretty good imo.

" Aces of the Galaxy looks like Starfox "

Its good but not that good im afraid. Lylat Wars is my favourite shoot em up.
