TeamXbox has learned that SouthPeak Games will announce the first of its Xbox Live Arcade titles tomorrow. Roogoo, planned for an April release, is a quirky puzzle game that will feature more than 40 levels. It has a storyline about two groups of creatures fighting for control of the planet Roo, but that doesn't seem like it'll be all that important-it's really going to be about the gameplay. The game has the player rotating discs with different shaped holes in them, so that a falling piece will match up and drop through the like-shaped slot. Not lining the right hole up with the piece when it hits the disc will cause the piece to get knocked away. In the early levels, it's simply a matter of spinning the disc into position; in the later, more challenging stages, the discs also flip every few seconds, testing the player's reaction time and dexterity that much more.
With over 250 games available and new ones every week, Xbox Live has a lot to offer. There’s so much content that you probably missed a few gems during multiplayer matches of Hydro Thunder Hurricane or solving puzzles in Limbo. That’s why we’re here to deliver the top five games you probably missed.

Everyday since Christmas Day, Electronic Theatre has been looking back at the greatest videogames 2009 had to offer; month by month. Whilst the last thing on your mind at the moment in the midst of the snowfall is likely to be the summer, today we bring you the very best that August 2009 had to offer and the ones to look out for in the January sales.
Game Freaks 365 writes: "The Wii has seen its fair share of party and puzzle games succeed on the system. Perhaps the ultimate one, Boom Blox, was in mind when the developers at SpiderMonk made Roogoo: Twisted Towers. Unfortunately while the two games share a cutesy art style, Roogoo plays nothing at all like Boom Blox. While Roogoo is pretty fun to say, it is considerably less fun to play."
