I don't think they would release two A+ XBLA games in the same month. Unless they were trying to push them all out during the summer so they wouldn't get overshadowed in the fall.

The first screens shots of the distant XBLA title Butterfly Garden have been shown off at the link above, confirmed is the notion that the game will in fact center around butterflies. The article noted that those screen shots are early XNA builds and the game will look different when the so called "soft" release happens later on this Summer.

I'd love to see what similar work EA would do with the Ultima license on XBLA. Ultima GeoWars clone? Too bad they sold the Wasteland license, would have loved to see Wasteland solitaire. Must you destroy all our PC Golden Age memories, EA? (ok, that was already done a long time ago).
Latest Space Giraffe developments from Jeff Minter's blog.
Sooo...
...managed to get myself far too emotionally involved with the protracted nature of the release process, went through a week of starting to get real anxiety issues whenever I even so much as thought about SG.
Recognised that as neither optimal nor comfortable. Made a conscious effort to back off from it for a week and I feel much better now. No slowdown to the actual process since what is left to do now really isn't very much at all, and Giles handled such small issues as there were like the pro he is, leaving me the space I needed to decompress.
We will know better next time what to expect. It's not that there's any deliberate intent to make the process unduly stressful, it's just that it is semi-infinitely more complex than it used to be. Still, now we know, and we'll know what to expect next time and be a lot more prepared too, so it won't be as bad.
We're in final-final now. Really bugger all left to do, and any further small delays are simply due to sequencing. I think we have a good idea of an actual release date but I can't say just yet. But it isn't far away.
It'd be nice to have some decent weather, mind. Now with us being in the endprocess there is the possibility to actually have some time away from the computers and out in the field with the sheep, and it's done not much apart from chuck it down in varying degrees since the end of April. Bit of sun on my face and lack of necessity of being on call to fix bugs would do my body, mind and soul a huge amount of good.
I desire certification and sun and then release }.

Stop expecting stuff and you won't be sad. Assume every XBLA game you heard of is coming in 2008 and smile when it comes out. Its the only way to keep happy when Wednesday comes around.
The worst is Castle Crashers, been a late 2007/2008 date from near the beginning and people still "what no CC?!?"

Now that's pretty cool - I gotta say I love the way they are sharing this game with the community like this... a shame how the bitching about the sprites ruined the updates though...

Honestly if I had to choose between an updated Geometry Wars ala Geometry Wars Galaxy or Mutant Storm Empire, I'd pick Mutant Storm Empire almost every time. MSE always seemed a lot more interesting.
I still think Switchball will be the XBLA game to beat though.

Partnernet - that's for the XNA guys, right?
I need to get in on that, sometime.

Can't say if it was actually fun to, you know, actually play...but it was one hell of a hilarious experience. Jeff Minter is ****ing insane in a brilliant way.
You sure talk about partnernet a lot. Have you no fear? Are you ninja-proof?
