We are extremely pleased to announce that our Wii version of Geon is out to buy in US stores right now. We really enjoyed working on this version – the Wii is a great little machine to play games on and a joy to develop for. This version has all the great stuff we crammed into the PlayStation3 version, including 4-player last-man-standing and team-geon modes for those of you who like a bit of competitive action in the living room!

Geon:Cube is available to buy now from Amazon.com – see our store page for a direct link.

From UFO Interactive’s site:

GRAB YOUR CUBE IN THIS PSYCHEDELIC, PICK-UP-AND-PLAY ACTION PUZZLE GAME OF RAPIDLY CHANGING TACTICS, BRIGHT COLORS, POWER UPS AND FRENZIED SPEED TO SEE WHO IS THE UNDISPUTED GEON MASTER!

Frantically race against your opponents playing as one of eight Geon emoticon cubes as you collect pellets and score goals, while preventing them from doing the same! Utilize unique power ups as you go back, forward and upside down in this easy-to-play-hard-to-master title!

So I was down at GameSpot HQ today joining Guy and Alex in their soundproof basement for their latest podcast. It’s a pretty good format, they cover a wide selection of games news and reviews, and so we were pleased to have the invitation to talk a little bit about Geon, how it started out on Xbox Live Arcade, and how we’ve been busy porting it to PSN and Wii. We also talked a little bit about what we’re doing next as well as how Strawdog Studios got started, which is something I always forget is interesting to many folks. The whole idea of setting up your own company to make games can be either crazy and/or inspiring! I’m pretty sure we’ll write more about that one day.
Anyway the podcast homepage is here, but you can hear today’s epsiode right here.
