Yay, GripShift released on XBLA

While the third iteration of GripShift ([url]http://www.gripshiftgame.com/[/url]) may not be super-exciting to most people in itself, it's the first commercial game I've been involved in (mainly graphics programming) so I have to spam the news now that it's made it onto the virtual shelves

It released on Xbox Live Arcade yesterday and it seems that some people have actually bought it already . It's sometimes described as a mix of stunt car racer, super monkey ball and mario kart, but people frequently expects it to be a racing game and complains about it not being fast enough etc. The main game mode is challenge where you have to complete three different goals on each level to completely finish it. While that is kinda fun I much prefer online multiplayer, four player deathmatches and races are quite fun actually! It'll be interesting to see if enough people are going to own it so that you can actually find multiplayer sessions online when you want to play.

Now, for that holiday leave...
