Bliss Island

Brain Challenge and Bliss Island are this weeks titles

After a few weeks of single releases, Microsoft is back on the multiple release train.  Making it's way this week are the Brain Age inspired Brain Challenge coming in at 800 MS points and Bliss Island at 400.  It's great to see not only the return of multiple titles, but the more and more elusive 400 point title show up in the same week.

After checking out the following screenshots, you can read the press release after the break...

A Bit About Bliss Island

The official Xbox.com Bliss Island page has been published, leaving me completely confused on just what the title is about. The PC version of Bliss Island doesn't contain nearly the same amount of content we will see on XBLA. The PC version contains two modes; where as, XBLA contains 25 different modes and 2 player multiplayer. A better example of what we may be getting can be found in the PSP title (Metacritic 48%), which seems to only have been released in Europe. Visuals are self expalanatory if you check out the embedded video for the PSP trailer. The original title was developed by Pom Pom (Mutant Storm Series), so I'll reserve judgement until the demo on this one. Have any of you European readers had a chance to play the PSP version of this title? [Via Xblah]

ESRB Watch: Peggle and Bliss Island

PeggleOnce again games are leaking out courtesy of ESRB ratings. This time the plinko-style puzzle game Peggle (Pop Cap) and Bliss Island (Codemasters) are showing up on the ratings site. Both titles are already available on the PC and are both highly addictive (trust me). This is definately great news as if it wasn't for Bookworm Adventures, Peggle by far is the best title in Pop Caps amazing, casual arsenal. Just ignore the unicorns and trust us you'll love the title. Since the story broke, Xbox 360 Fanboy has confirmed Peggle's release for XBLA. The title will be released in Q2 of 2008.

In addition to these two titles, Ultra Bust-A-Move was found on the list; however, this is probably just a sign of an Xbox Originals release of this title. As all of the current Xbox Originals games are also listed for Xbox 360 on the ESRB.
