Word Puzzle hits XBLA, SwitchBall is hiding

by Richard Mitchell { Nov 7th 2007 at 9:30AM }

It's Xbox Live Arcade Wednesday folks, and that means brand new gaming goodness to enjoy. This week under "New Arrivals" you will find the incredibly exciting and action packed Word Puzzle. What you will not find is Switchball. Don't fret though, Switchball is there, it's just not in new arrivals for some reason. We imagine Microsoft will fix this at some point, but for now you'll have to dig through the "Genres" or "All Arcade Downloads" section to find the game. You can find it under "Action Arcade" in the genres, or (more conveniently) under the letter "S" in all arcade downloads. We were upset before we discovered the games secret bunker, as it looks to be the more intriguing of this week's two titles (check out the video above if you don't believe us). Should you desire the full version of either game, they will run you 800 Microsoft bucks each.

I liked the Switchball demo on PC, will be giving it a try.

I like Switchball - it's a lot more "solve the puzzle" and strategy oriented than Marble Blast Ultra.

It's also apparently surprisingly long for an arcade game, 4 to 6 hours to finish the main game. Not bad for $10 considering the PC one is $20. I purchased it.

Switchball does look nice from the video above.
My first thought was 'This could be Marble Blast Ultra 2' - which isn't a bad thing in my book. More of a thinking game than Marble Blast, again that's no bad thing in my opinion.

I look forward to trying this out when I get home from work.
