SOUTHPEAK GAMES ANNOUNCES 'ROOGOO' ON
XBOX LIVE ARCADE AND WINDOWS-BASED PC

Save the Planet in this Imaginative Multiplayer Puzzle Game

Grapevine, Texas - February 12, 2007 - SouthPeak Games today announced
Roogoo for Xbox LIVE(r) Arcade and Windows-based PC, slated for release
this April. Developed by SpiderMonk Entertainment, Roogoo is an
innovative and unusual 3D puzzle game that has players guide and stack
different shaped blocks through various platforms to not only save
planet Roo, but the entire Roogoo race.

"Roogoo is a rare, multi-player puzzle game that combines compulsive
play and an engaging storyline," said Melanie Mroz, CEO of SouthPeak
Games. "The game's intuitive controls, unique charm, and production
quality, will compel anyone to pick up and play but also challenge
those looking to be the guru of Roogoo."

Roogoo tasks players with guiding meteors in the form of shaped blocks
though a series of rotating disks as a means of saving planet Roo and
the entire Roogoo race. If aligned correctly, the disks allow the
blocks to reach the ground and scores are awarded. Various obstacles
and enemies will impede the blocks' movement and with the flow of
meteor blocks steadily increasing as the game progresses, players will
have to think on their feet to save the Roogoo and rack up seriously
high scores.

The new puzzle game features more than 45 puzzle levels with
single-player, two-player split screen and party game modes.
Roogoo introduces bonus challenges and stages as the game progresses
with new shapes and characters.

"We set out to build an addictive, casual game that would be easy to
play yet difficult to master," said Scott March, President at
SpiderMonk Entertainment. "SouthPeak gave us the freedom to push the
limits of creativity and it resulted in a game that is truly different
and has something for everyone.
Not only do we have solid gameplay mechanics, but we have added a story
element to the experience to really keep players engaged."

Roogoo on Windows-based PC includes high-end and low-end versions on
the same disc to ensure PC compatibility with system requirements.
More information about Roogoo coming soon. To learn more about
