It’s been some time since Torpex Games announced thatSchizoid(800 Microsoft Points) would be heading to Xbox LIVE Arcade as the first XNA Game Studio-built game to be up for purchase through the service, but it’s finally become a reality.
The focus ofSchizoidis primarily that of co-op play. You and a friend will be able to take on wave after wave of enemies online and off. If you’d rather go the solo route, however, you have the option of playing with an AI-controlled partner or you can even control both ships by playing the “Uberschizoid” mode.
The second game bound for release on Wednesday isGolf: Tee It Up!, a game that’s gotten very little press and looks like a budgetHot Shots Golf. That might sound kind of harsh, but that’s what happens when you don’t market your game, people!
Finally, I’d like to remind you all that theHalo 3map “Cold Storage” is out today for the fabulous price offree. It’s a remake of “Chill Out” from the originalHalo, but you probably already knew that.
Hit the jump for the full press release.
