D3 Publisher has just confirmed with us that Puzzle Quest: Galactrix will be landing on Xbox LIVE Arcade next Wednesday, April 8. The title will support online multiplayer, matchmaking, leaderboards, voice chat, and all of that other stuff you'd expect from an Xbox LIVE Arcade game.
It's actually surprising to me that the title wasn't already available for XBLA. The game hit Nintendo DS and PC weeks ago to much fanfare, a lot of which died down after some people had played the game. It'll be interesting to see how that impacts the sales of the XBLA version. The game is also slated to hit PlayStation Network, but hasn't confirmed a release date.
Speaking of confirmation of things, we also don't know how much Galactrix is going to run you; we've contacted D3 for clarification. It should be noted that the PC version of the game retails for $19.99, so 1600 MS Points sounds like a good bet.
You still excited about Galactrix, or are you over it at this point? Have you already picked up the PC and Nintendo DS versions?
[Update: D3 has confirmed with us that the XBLA version of Galactrix will cost 1600 MS Points, as expected.]

Also, Galactrix sucked.
one of the bloggers declared the game crap and now everyone follows.
I know, i read the blog. All that he said in his blow was, Wait a minute, this game is not all about dueling, dismissed. Pretty lame if you ask me. I think that the mlti-directional board is phenomenal.
I think we all know my opinion on Puzzle Quest by now, however they are amplified by yet another week without OutRun.
I am so glad I played the original PQ before trying this frustrating trash. There are SO many issues that never should have made it out of QA, mostly relating to 'leapgate hacking', aka Vegas-odds slots. WHO THE HELL thought that a whole game based on leapgate hacking was fun?
Watching combos you dont want chew up your countdown time has to be the most blatant sin, there's nothing more frustrating then failing a hack when you've completed the damn thing, but all the combos afterwords cause the timer to hit 0 and fail you. This is the first game i've played that actually had me scream out loud in frustration. And that's not fun.
I'd save your MS points for something, ANYTHING else. I hear SOTN was released on XBLA, go download a GOOD game!
