With the economy bottoming out more often than the characters from classic 90s flick 'Flatliners', we could all do with a bargain once in a while.  News that The Adventures of Shuggy has had a permanent price reduction on XBLA to only 400 Microsoft Points is a boon.

Aw yeah! One of the biggest Xbox Live Arcade blockbusters ever is finally making its way to PC via Steam! I know you've all been waiting for this moment. The Adventures of Shuggy shot to the top of the charts on Xbox Live when it launched last June, and the Steam debut is expected to be the gaming event of the year!

The Adventures of Shuggy is a puzzle game that challenges your wits against physical enemies, obstacles, gravity and the Xbox Live Leaderboards. There are loads of puzzle games on the market, but Shuggy looks to make its mark using a bit of strategy, and including co-op.

Holy Cow!  We missed two weeks of Co-Op Release Alerts.  We're sure that your wallets are absolutely bristling with money, since we haven't been there to tell you which co-op games are available.  Without these weekly notifications you may have missed out on games like Green Lantern: Rise of the Manhunters, Men of War: Vietnam, Operation Flashpoint: Red River, Red Faction: Armageddon, Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012, and The Adventures of Shuggy.  Wow.  Looks like a lot of stuff came out while some of us were absorbed with E3.  Luckily, the rest of the Co-Optimus staff was on the ball and delivered awesome co-op reviews for Lantern, Red Faction, and Magic.  We even have an Op Flashpoint cooperative review coming soon!

The Adventures of Shuggy was just released on Xbox Live Arcade and the indie-ish looking title, developed by Smudge Cat Games, looks like a charming puzzle platformer.  Shuggy is a little vampire who has just been given the deed to his Grandmother's mansion only to find it's filled with bad guys and traps.
