Eets: Chowdown on XBLA and TubeTwist in stores!

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'!

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.
