This week the lineup will be joined by puzzler TiQal and an update to Switchball that adds "smoother gameplay". Without further ado I give you the media alert for the full details:

“TiQal,” a new challenge sure to delight fans of the puzzle game genre, is launching on Xbox LIVE Arcade this Wednesday, March 26, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. GMT (1:00 a.m. PDT).

With graphics inspired by the ancient Mayan culture, “TiQal” takes players on an epic journey to save the village of the same name. Players must demolish enemy block walls by matching squares of the same color and building them up to unleash massive combo points and mind-blowing power-ups.

“TiQal” features 120 levels of easy to learn, yet difficult to master gameplay and 14 formidable power-ups, as well as multiplayer support for up to two players. Partner with a friend in the same room or via Xbox LIVE in co-op mode to rescue the village. Players will also enjoy sumptuous graphics and sound effects, as well as an impressive musical score.

Developed by Slapdash Games, “TiQal” will be available worldwide for 800 Microsoft Points and is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB. For more details on “TiQal” please visit:

Switchball is finally getting a full retail PC release this week after weeks (months even) of being available for purcahse as a downloadable PC title. I'm sure everyone must be thinking that this must be a sign that the XBLA release is just around the corner, right? Yes and no. Sierra will release the title close to the release date of the XBLA version, which is sometime before the end of the year. However, recall that Roboblitz was released for PC a few weeks prior to the XBLA release. Who knows maybe Microsoft will announce it as one of this weeks titles, but I wouldn't hold your breath.
