Filed under: Xbox Live Arcade, Game announcements

Hot off the wire is that this week is that we're in for another Xbox Live Arcade twofer this Wednesday, with the release of Space Giraffe, as well as Street Trace: NYC. The former of the titles is from Llamasoft, and designer Jeff Minter, featuring 100 levels of gameplay, and completing them unlocks a new game mode (as long as you have a high enough anal score).

On the Street Trace side of things, you get get your fill of arena battles and racing across the futuristic wastelands of New York City, Marty McFly style. You have your choice of up to 8 player multiplayer over Live or 4 player splitscreen locally across the four arena stages. Space Giraffe will run you 400 MP and Street Trace clocks in at 800 Microsoft Points, and will be available 9:00 AM GMT or 2:00 AM PT and 5:00 AM ET.

Update: Fixed price point for Space Giraffe.

1. I believe Space Giraffe was corrected to 400 points.

2. Anal score FTW!

It hasn't been corrected yet. GSB is checking on the price. I think it'll be 400 MSP, as Llamasoft has it listed as 400.

Actually, the Llamasoft website clearly states it's 400 MSP.

4. Can't wait for Space Giraffe. OXM gave it a shocking 2.0 rating, but it's fairly obvious that the reviewer didn't have a clue:

5. I enjoyed Street Trace NYC (played the final build at the event) - I hope everyone else does, too.

6. it looks like space giraffe is a bomb if you can't figure out how to play it, according to studleys link.

i have more faith in it though, it sounds like a smart shooter, and we need more of those.
