Schizoid! – Groundbreaking New Game Up on XBL Arcade

It’s Wednesday which means gamers can count on new games to download from the Xbox Live
Arcade. This week’s new additions include Schizoid, the first XBL Arcade game created with Microsoft’s XNA Game Studio.

“Torpex Games assembled an all-star team that truly believed in the vision of this singular game, and they ended up creating a unique and innovative game that embodies Xbox LIVE Arcade,” said Jeremy Wacksman, Microsoft’s Global Product Manager, Xbox LIVE. “We are very happy that Schizoid is the superb first result of our XNA Game Studio initiative on Xbox Live Arcade.”

“Schizoid is a landmark co-op gaming experience, unlike any other game. It’s a new experience that you’ve got to try,” says Bill Dugan, Torpex Games’ president. “And although it has been reported that Schizoid will ‘make your brain melt and ooze out of your ears’, I want to reassure gamers that in our testing we found no evidence of actual brain liquefaction.”

Also new on XBL Arcade is Activision’s Golf: Tee It Up! developed by Housemarque. Gamers can create custom characters, then challenge their friends to play 36 unique holes set in “lush, panoramic courses”. You can check out Business Wire for more specifics on this zany golf game.
