Space Giraffe Racing To Xbox LIVE Arcade This Wednesday
Space Giraffe (400 Microsoft points - $5), that weird looking game that reminds both Toots and myself a little bit of Rez, will finally be hitting XBLA this Wednesday. Jeff Minter's "psychedelic shooter" has 100 levels, so that should keep you occupied for a time. At least I think it should.
Street Trace: NYC (800 Microsoft points - $10) is the other title coming out this week. Here's what the game's all about:
Set in the urban wastelands of New York City, Street Trace: NYC (Gaia Industries) is an all-in-one hoverboard racing and arena battle game featuring multiplayer over Xbox LIVE with up to eight players and an up to a four-way split-screen. Players can choose from four arena games, three street games and even “cash” tournaments that allow them to purchase board and weapon upgrades between games.
Hoverboard!? Like in Back to the Future? Could be cool or awesomely bad. If you get it, be sure to tell us what it's like. More details on both of these games after the jump.
This week, prepare for a cosmic trip to outer space with the frenetic action game "Space Giraffe," or engage in futuristic combat in the streets of New York City with “Street Trace: NYC.” Both games will be available for download this Wednesday, August 22, 2007 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (2:00 a.m. PDT).
From the legendary game designer Jeff Minter, “Space Giraffe” (Llamasoft) is a psychedelic shooter featuring mesmerizing graphics and 100 levels of out-of-this-world gameplay. Gamers can also complete all 100 levels and unlock a hidden gameplay mode.
