One small bounce for cute little animal, one giant leap for British games development.

Space Ark is here! Our friends over at Strawdog studios are very happy to announce that their insanely bouncy, colouful and ridiculously addictive arcade title, Space Ark, is now out on Xbox Live Arcade for only 800 Microsoft Points.

There is much talk of console online service updates, with BBC’s iPlayer arriving on the Wii and the rumours of PS3 providing users with Facebook access, but in a few hours time XboxLive will see a crucial update that provides not only Facebook and twitter, but LastFM and Zune’s Video Store.
