Gamasutra: Next week's Xbox live Arcade release is Rocket Riot, a collaboration between developer Codeglue and publisher THQ. It's a multiplayer-centric game that involves little legless men flying around and shooting each other dead.
Now, we speak to Codeglue about developing for the Xbox Live Arcade, what makes Rocket Riot different to other titles on the market, and what it was like to use Microsoft's XNA codebase to develop an online multiplayer title.
Neil writes: "With all the delays that have hit the gaming industry over the first few months of 2020, the release of big AAA titles has been somewhat slow. But that in turn does bring hope - hope to all those who are looking for cheap gaming fixes as they get the chance to do so with the older, previously missed, titles. And that is where the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 10th-16th March 2020 comes in, delivering all manner of cut price goodies to Xbox One and Xbox 360 gamers."
Neil writes: "There can't be a gamer out there who doesn't like a bargain, and with the Xbox Deals With Gold Sale, the bargains come about on a weekly basis. But what brilliant Xbox One and Xbox 360 discounts are available via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 23rd-29th April 2019? Well, we've got the full list and it's bang full of surprisingly great cut-price games."
COG writes - Rocket Riot was originally released way back in 2009 for the Xbox 360. Codeglue recently secured the rights to their game back and have published it on PC.
