PSN: Cuboid And Magic Ball Announced For PSN

It looks like we're right again. Tik Games have revealed two of their latest titles, this time coming to the PlayStation Network - Magic Ball and Cuboid.

As we figured, Magic Ball is a PSN rendition of the casual PC title of the same name. Effectively a new take on classic Arkanoid gameplay with a children's aesthetic.

From the IGN preview:

"Although the graphics of Magic Ball are obviously on the simpler side, the amount of destruction going on is still visually pleasing and it looks like the Havok engine is being put to good use. Things break apart and ricochet around nicely and it not only spices up the aesthetics of it all but makes the gameplay more exciting. While it might fail to impress had it been a full disc-based release, the fact that Magic Ball is a quick downloadable affair makes the whole package way more appetizing. I had quite a bit of fun trying my hand at some of the single-player levels, but playing with a friend (which can be done both on and offline) was even more exciting."

IGN also added the first video for Cuboid - a crazy puzzle game that looks like it could cause a whole lot of frustration. You will really need an open mind with this title.
