This morning Eets: Chowdown was released on Xbox Live Arcade. Normally, I wouldn't care so much about a game coming to XBLA, but this is the first XBLA game I worked on so I'm pretty excited. They kept most of the original music and sounds but asked me to provide a couple extra sounds for the main game (including the jazzy little musical flourish when you get a puzzle piece) and most of the sounds for Marsho Madness. I also provided the Animal Crossing-esque tutorial guy's voice, which was a lot of fun to come up with.

Klei Entertainment did a great job bringing the game to the 360. The controls feel really tight and it looks great in HD. All you 360 owners, check it out! Klei's a bunch of great Canadian indie developers and they deserve much success with this title.



Also, TubeTwist is in stores! I know it's been blogged about here before but I spotted a copy at my local EB Games (Northgate Mall in Seattle) and snapped myself a picture with my grimy cell phone's camera.



There it is, on the right side of the shelf! There was another copy resting next to a Space Quest compilation on the shelf below, which was thrilling (I loved the Space Quest games). 21-6 is another great group of guys and I love seeing the game in stores. Qapla'!

I think you forgot to mention why you're blogging TubeTwist (other than it's a great game). You did audio for it, right?

Congrats on your debut XBLA work!

I love playing Eets on the computer, if I had a 360 I would buy that game in a heartbeat. Everyone should be encouraged to check it out because it is amazingly fun. Congrats on both games Matt.

Eets is damn awesome! Tube Twist as well!

they're still selling space quest? I liked space quest but I always liked kings quest more, until they went to a completely mouse interface.

I love live arcade I think I have 6-7 purchases on there so far, I'll definetly try the demo of eets on there

Oh yeah, thanks Joshua. I did do all the audio for TubeTwist... thus my excitement. :)

Thanks, Zach. David, you speak the truth.

J Sears, they recently came out with compilations for Space Quest, Police Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry. From what I understand, they're pretty barebones packages with no extras. But the games are still fantastic.
