Back in May, we reported that Twisted Pixel Games were working on downloadable titles for next-gen consoles.  Well today they have finally decided to give us all a peak at what they've been up to.

Maw, which is Twited Pixel's first original IP title, is a 3D action adventure title is looking like a  cross between Kameo and Cloning Clyde.  Considering that I loved both of those titles, and that they are promising retail game level production values, I am certainly putting this on my most wanted list (it's amazing just how large that list has gotten).

TWISTED PIXEL GAMES ANNOUNCES THEIR FIRST TITLE: THE MAW
Ambitious 3D Action/Adventure Game in Development for Xbox LIVE® Arcade

MADISON, IN - June 11, 2008 - Twisted Pixel Games, an independent studio focused on producing top flight original titles for digital distribution on consoles, announced today that their first original title, The Maw, is in development for Xbox LIVE® Arcade.
In this full featured 3D action adventure, players take control of Frank, a simple alien that must partner up with The Maw, a cute little blob with an insatiable hunger that makes him the most dangerous creature in the galaxy. Players will need to harness The Maw’s unstoppable growth and the incredible powers he earns, in order to help Frank find his way home.
The Maw features a lengthy, full scope, single-player experience filled with hundreds of 3D character animations, intense cinemas, cutting edge graphics technology, a professionally composed soundtrack, and much more.
“We’re really excited that The Maw will be our first original title - I think it’s a great example of the types of character-driven, content-packed experiences we want to deliver,” said the studio’s CCO and Director Josh Bear. “Because it’s such a focus for us, our characters exhibit more personality and humor than any of the other retail game I’ve worked on in the past.”
