Word Puzzle and Switchball on XBLA this Wednesday
Happy Monday! Two great new titles arrive on Xbox Live Arcade this Wednesday. Switchball is absolutely gorgeous (check out the screen shots on our Flickr page) and Word Puzzle is wonderfully addictive for "word nerds" like me. From the media alert: The traditional pen and paper word search game is taken to a whole new level this week as InterServ brings “Word Puzzle” to Xbox LIVE Arcade. This brain-busting game features intricate 3D boards, exploding word bombs and a whole host of synapse melting challenges and special effects. With five unique game modes, LIVE support for up to four players and Xbox LIVE Vision Camera support, “Word Puzzle” will keep you playing with friends and family for hours. The game will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E. • For more details on “Word Puzzle,” please visit http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/w/wordpuzzlexboxlivearcade/default.htm In “Switchball,” players conquer breathtakingly beautiful labyrinthine mazes as they manipulate the unique physical properties of an ever-changeable ball to solve clever puzzles. Morph into the Metalball and ram objects out of your way, charge the Powerball to dash up ramps and jump over obstacles, switch to the Airball to float over physics based death traps or use the Marbleball for speedy rolling around action. Created by Sierra Online, “Switchball” empowers players to harness the laws of physics and triumphantly roll their way through five elegantly detailed 3D environments or they can join friends in 2 player co-op or 8 player competitive racing fun through Xbox LIVE.
