Roogoo and Aces of the Galaxy are your games of the week!

Two two-game weeks in a row! Are Microsoft on a roll? This week brings you the Space Shooter Aces of the Galaxy, and the cute original puzzler Roogoo!

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.
Aces of the Galaxy will be released Worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points.

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.
Roogoo will be available Worldwide, with the exception of Japan, for 800 Microsoft Points.

New Aces of the Galaxy trailer, possible release date released!


A new trailer was released for Sierra's upcoming space shooter Aces of the Galaxy today. Check it out above, or you can download the trailer here.

An interesting tidbit though - The Gamespress website - which deals with collecting all the game press releases and media - claim that the game is coming out next month - the 11th of June to be exact. Keep an eye out until then.

Looking back at the previous Xbox Live Arcade releases by Sierra, it appears that they're trying to release at least one title a month. With Aces of the Galaxy, Zombie Wranglers, Gin Rummy, Red Baron Arcade.. Maybe Megaforce and The Incredible Machine if their two year old Investor Presentation means anything - they look to keep the XBLA quite healthy. They even mention "12 short session games" in that presentation. Keep it up, Sierra!
