Spyglass Board Games coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade on August 1st!

It’s a bit of a double header for Strange Flavour and our publishers Freeverse this week. Our second XBLA game, Spyglass Board Games is being launched alongside Freeverse’s lovingly crafted port of Bungie’s Marathon (which we helped out on ;) ).

Based on Freeverse’s Apple Design Award winning Big Bang Board Games, Spyglass is a collection of four classic board games, designed around a full size video chat client for the Xbox 360. As with Big Bang Board Games we did get to add a few suitably silly options. Make sure you’ve got a Live Vision Camera and a microphone :)

To answer one obvious question, yes we have been doing rather a lot of console games recently and not releasing any new Mac games. In fact we’re working on another console title at the moment. However we haven’t forgotten our Mac gaming roots and while it’s not going to be something you’ll see soon, we *are* working on a new Mac game design.

ToySight Gold Expansion pack is released!
Three cool new games for ToySight, including the first ever 8 player rendezvous networked 3D fighter combat game with voice activated guns!
ToySight Gold is available as an upgrade to the original ToySight for US$9.95 or as a pack including ToySight for US$34.95. Both are available as downloads direct from the Freeverse Store.
One feature we've added to ToySight Gold is the ability to play most of the ToySight and ToySight Gold games with the mouse or keyboard if you don't have a camera plugged in. That way if you don't have an iSight handy or if it would be embarrasing for you to be seen waving your hands about and shouting "Dagadagadagadaga" into your Mac, you can play the games with the mouse or keyboard. It's not quite as cool, but then again it doesn't get you thrown out of theatres either ;)
