SouthPeak publishes “games for their own merits”

We should hope so too. In this EG interview, SouthPeak CEO Melanie Mroz said it’s not to much the platform that attracts the publisher’s attention than the game itself.

“We prefer to publish games for their own merits, rather than because of the platform that they’re on – there’s still plenty of titles coming up and plenty of money to be made,” she said.

SouthPeak is somewhat resurgent at the moment, seemingly focussing on digital distribution to fill the coffers. The company today announced another title for XBLA, Load Inc.’s Things on Wheels, for release this summer.

Load Inc. XBLA racer for summer

According to this, SouthPeak is to release Load Inc.’s upcoming racer, Things on Wheels, on XBLA this summer.

An “accessible, pure arcade racing title”, it involves driving remote-control cars around the rooms of a house with tracks built up of everyday items. A bit like Micro Machines used to be. But definitely nothing like it at all.
