Twisted Pixel are well on their way to becoming the darlings of Xbox Live Arcade. Their first XBLA game, “The Maw” did decent business, but introduced gamers to the sly sort of humour that they’re known for. ‘Splosion Man, their most recent offering offers some of the most fun, back to basics game play available on the online platform. Their …

While you may not believe it – tucked in your duvets, embracing your 12-fin oil heaters or sipping on warm, cocoa-flavoured milky drinks – Xbox Live’s Summer of Arcade kicks off  with Twisted Pixel’s *groan* explosive follow-up to their underappreciated gem, The Maw.

In amongst the all the April Fool’s sophistry that perpetuated itself through recent news was the announcement of a new game by Twisted Pixel Games, creators of “The Maw”. Heralded as a 2.5D action platformer "based around the simple concept of ‘splosions and the ridiculousness that ensues," it sounded like a pretty awkward attempt at humour. Turns out the joke’s …

Two weeks ago we posted confirmation that Peggle would be arriving on the XBLA by mid-March and today Major Nelson has re-iterated this. Peggle will be available from tomorrow the 11th of March for 800 points… This is yet another reason why I love the demo system on the consoles as I really am not sure I am happy to …

New on XBLA this week: The Maw and FunTown Mahjong

By Karl

The Maw and FunTown Mahjong have both debuted on XBLA today costing 800 MS Points a piece. In my opinion any game with ‘fun’ and ‘mahjong’ in the same sentence is a contradictory statement, you can only have fun or mahjong, never both. The Maw is the interesting release. It is a rather attractive action-platformer developed by Twisted Pixel Games, …
