I felt more guilty getting mad at it than that time I melted my neighbor's My Little Pony in the microwave. Actually, I don't feel bad about that at all. You won't feel bad about unleashing a blue streak on Roogoo though. The game may be tough, but more from being challenging than frustrating. And a well designed puzzle game that offers challenges like this one does, wrapped up in an ultra cute package is just the kind of thing that makes Xbox Live Arcade so great.
The concept behind Roogoo is pretty simple. You have a series of rotating discs that have shapes cut into them. Blocks matching those shapes – square, circle, star, heart, etc. – fall from the top and you must rotate the discs with the right and left bumper buttons to match them with their corresponding holes so they can fall through. Pretty simple, right? Not so fast, chum. Roogoo ups the ante with enemies who block holes, moving doorways and all kinds of other obstacles to drive you nuts. I challenge you to give up on the game though. Like any good puzzler, it's more addictive than bacon-wrapped crack."

Everyday since Christmas Day, Electronic Theatre has been looking back at the greatest videogames 2009 had to offer; month by month. Whilst the last thing on your mind at the moment in the midst of the snowfall is likely to be the summer, today we bring you the very best that August 2009 had to offer and the ones to look out for in the January sales.

Perhaps the ultimate one, Boom Blox, was in mind when the developers at SpiderMonk made Roogoo: Twisted Towers. Unfortunately while the two games share a cutesy art style, Roogoo plays nothing at all like Boom Blox. While Roogoo is pretty fun to say, it is considerably less fun to play."
