Ex: "Slovak developer Games Distillery has been dilligently trickling out information on their naval warfare shooter 'Aqua.' Previously announced for Microsoft's unofficially titled "Summer of Water 2010" on Xbox Live Arcade, Aqua is shaping up to be a fun, strategic title dominated by gorgeous seas and creatively designed battleships.
Earlier, we detailed the various types of battleships in the game. Now, we have a slew of information centered on player ships, ship upgrades, and support squadrons."
Three discounts on Xbox LIVE this week focus around the theme of water-heavy games. Gamers are gushing with joy.
The three titles receiving price reductions are Hydro Thunder: Hurricane, Aqua, and Hydrophobia Pure. The water-sport antics of Hydro Thunder have only received a 33% price reduction, down to 800 Microsoft Points, but both Aqua and Hydrophobia Pure are selling for 50% off at 400 MS Points.

Games Distillery’s seaborne adventure Aqua: Naval Warfare was a great attempt at expanding the boundaries of the twin stick-shooter. We sat down with Development Director, Juergen Reusswig, to find out more – Who are Games Distillery? What are their influences? And where do they think downloadable content is heading in the future?
Console Monster: Aqua is the latest action shooter title to be released on the Xbox Live Arcade. Developed by Games Distillery, a fairly new game developer for the Xbox Live Marketplace, Aqua follows the story of Captain Benjamin Grey of the Emperean Navy and his involvement in the Gothean war.
So, Aqua kinda looks like Naval Assault, except it's $35 less?
