Shortly after the release of the Xbox Live Arcade version of Roogoo, SouthPeak announced that it would bring the colorful puzzler to the Nintendo Wii and DS. While the XBLA and DS versions will look very similar, Roogoo Twisted Towers for the Wii is an entirely new game that will add another layer of gameplay to the already challenging mechanics of the original game. Now, as you're trying to match all the colorful blocks with their respective holes in the platform, which now fall through a curved arch, you'll use your Wii Remote to shoot Meemoos that are trying to steal your blocks. SouthPeak representatives came by to give Gamespot a quick look at Twisted Towers, and so far, things seem to be coming along nicely--especially when they make it look so easy.

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.
Roogoo: Twisted Towers has all the elements a good puzzler should have – building huge stacks of shapes can be fun and moving the platforms so as to have items fall correctly and adding various traps and pitfalls along the way to make things that much more difficult are great building blocks on which to put a game. However, between a camera which hurts more than it helps, a control scheme which doesn't feel natural, and not giving the player full control of the platforms, the game simply has too many stumbling blocks to ever truly be enjoyable.
