SpiderMonk's Roogoo is so cutesy, many people will probably give it a quick look and assume it's not for them. And while the art is downright adorable, the game's not at all what you'd think. It's not some saccharine adventure title with a ridiculously voiced protagonist, and it's not a role-playing game. It's a puzzler that'll seriously confound your brain -- and charm that part of your heart that thinks puppies and kittens are cute as hell.
As in this summer's original Xbox Live Arcade release, the upcoming Wii and DS games see players rotating a series of disks with shaped holes in them so that falling pieces can pass through. For instance, if a circle shape's falling from the sky, the player must rotate the first disk so that the circle hole's aligned with the descending piece, allowing it to reach the bottom disk.
With over 250 games available and new ones every week, Xbox Live has a lot to offer. There’s so much content that you probably missed a few gems during multiplayer matches of Hydro Thunder Hurricane or solving puzzles in Limbo. That’s why we’re here to deliver the top five games you probably missed.

Everyday since Christmas Day, Electronic Theatre has been looking back at the greatest videogames 2009 had to offer; month by month. Whilst the last thing on your mind at the moment in the midst of the snowfall is likely to be the summer, today we bring you the very best that August 2009 had to offer and the ones to look out for in the January sales.
Game Freaks 365 writes: "The Wii has seen its fair share of party and puzzle games succeed on the system. Perhaps the ultimate one, Boom Blox, was in mind when the developers at SpiderMonk made Roogoo: Twisted Towers. Unfortunately while the two games share a cutesy art style, Roogoo plays nothing at all like Boom Blox. While Roogoo is pretty fun to say, it is considerably less fun to play."
