The release of Puzzle Quest: Galactrix on Xbox Live Arcade has been a longer time coming than expected. But it certainly isn't a surprise that D3Publisher's hexagonal space puzzler joins the Arcade lineup this week.

The sequel to Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords—which doesn't seem to stack up as well as the original—joins the sheepish Flock! from Capcom. The Proper Games-developed puzzler features the winning combination of sheep herding and UFOs, all for the low price of 1200 Microsoft Points.

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix comes in a little pricier, setting you back 1600 Microsoft Points. Both will be available on April 8th.
