It's another double dose of games this week for XBLA in Brief. This time, we examine Aces of the Galaxy and Roogoo. Aces of the Galaxy is an on-rails space shooter, whereas Roogoo is a puzzle game. What are the odds that both of them are actually pretty good? Frankly, we think those odds are fairly slim, but we're happy to say that both games manage to impress in their own way. Watch the latest episode and find out if either game is right for you.

Roogoo is a real breath of fresh air, a far cry from the dark "go kill things"games that I'm sure you have sitting next to your 360. You owe it to yourself to at least try it out, much like portal or Locoroco. I think I'm going to end up buying this one.
I am not much of a XBLA fan but being a big sci-fi fan that I am, Aces of the Galaxy seems like something I will really like. Just downloaded the demo and will be giving it a shot later. Never would have tried it on my own, but your video made me do it! Thanks!
Like I said before both games are great and worth the points.
Aces Of the Galaxy is really tight bringing back some old school shooter styles reminding me of segments of Philosoma and Axelay with a Panzer Dragoon Flare.
While Roogoo is a fast thinking addictive puzzle game well outside of the norm for the throths of puzzle games that currently exist on the marketplace. Get these games!
