This Week on XBLA: An awesome Star Fox clone & a cool puzzle game

So this week on XBLA, we get two games at 800 points a piece. The first is called Aces of the Galaxy and it appears to be a rail shooter ala Star Fox complete with co-op, cool explosions, and a slow motion ability. Here's a trailer: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33966.html & here's the XBox website: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/a/acesofthegalaxyxboxlivearcade/default.htm
The second game is called Roogoo and it's a 3D puzzle game where you're trying to match up aliens in various pegs while other aliens try to stop you? Yeah, I have no clue how on earth that's supposed to work, but early impressions from people who have tried the game are very positive. Here's the site: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/r/roogooxboxlivearcade/default.htm

Aces of the Galaxy?
"Human scum: prepare for annihilation?"
A big fat blue alien making fisticuffs?
This is gonna have more cheese than Wisconsin, ain't it?

Rock Band and GTAIV need completing.
And P.A. Adventures still needs buying.
The pile of games, it never ends!
Aces of the Galaxy looks well made, decent visuals at least. And Star Fox clones are always welcome.
No tanks? NO WALKING?

I'll pay double if the game shouts "DO A BARREL ROLL!" during the tutorial.

There could even be awesome bosses. Only thing that can make it better is if they can't let me do that.
Edit: Rewatching the trailer I'm seeing a lot of the same kind of enemy in the same kind of formation. Now I'm still excited, but somewhat worried. Could this be the legendary 'cautious optimism'?

That's really great news! I'll be checking it out myself a little later today.

and Aces of the Galaxy:

They liked both games, 8.4 for Aces & 8.5 for Roogoo. For Aces of the Galaxy, they said that it can get a little monotonous in long play and could have used some end-level bosses, but other than those two complaints, it's a blast. They liked Roogoo for its originality and the fact that instead of merely increasing the speed, later level added new gameplay mechanics which spiced things up.

Tried RooGoo and it's surprisingly fun. I can see how it could get quite involved later on (sadly, the demo was mostly just tutorial levels).

Still, I will download the demo tonight. Thanks for the heads up. I'm a HUGE Starfox/PDO fan, and I had no idea that this game even existed.
The fact that it got an 8.4 without big bosses is impressive.
I'm going to try it but I love me some big bosses.
Maybe if it sells well we'll get a sequel with them.
Ok, this came out of nowhere.
There are bosses, they just aren't big or at the end of a level. They harass you DURING the level, and you have to try to take them out when they come around.
Try out the demo and you'll see what I mean.
Let's not turn this into a system wars thread.
Must find 1600 MS points (well, I guess 3200 so I can get the Penny Arcade game as well).

Your post made me laugh sir. Thank you. Ya, I will have to go get this demo now.
It's awesome.

Ok, someone dropped the ball here. Usually I would hear something about it by now. I need points and I need it NOW. They actually didn't screw it up this time. Even though warlords needs spinners, it feels decent with the D-pad. I swear I need some online warlords action!

Best way to describe it in a hurry.

Warlords was the second major game to have 4 player multiplayer. Super pong was the first.
Yes, Yes it is. Its fast and furious and hard to dodge which is a fantastic thing. Its so bought hard.
Its better then starfox, By a large margin.
Roogoo was interesting. I kinda wish the demo was a bit longer, because i feel that it was just getting into the stuff that i might find interesting, because the early stuff just felt like i was playing with those kids toys with the shapes. Dunno, i've got other XBLA games i want to buy before i consider this, since my 360 is still pretty new. And i know i'm late to the party, but XBLA Uno is awesome.

Warlords is awesome. The clone in SouthPark: Chefs love shack made that game worth buying.
Think 4 player competitive breakout.
I was looking for something to drop my 1400 bonus points on. Looks like this could fit the ticket. Co-op, too.
I'M A TWITTER SHITTER
And it's only 800 points!
Yeah dude it's awesome check out the demo.
Sierra Online do come up with some good stuff, I really enjoyed Switchball as well up until I got hopelessly stuck.
I'll have to pick up a points card and have you come play sometime. I don't think I can ever get enough warlords.
Yes, I believe it's both online and local co-op.

I know it wont last, but it did feel cool.
Aces is awesome, but the music is really, really bad.
