The dishes are done, man! Jeff Minter announces on his Live Journal earlier this week that Space Giraffe has finished its testing phase which means it is going to be out soon. It also features some screenshots of how he did on his own game throughout different levels (practice makes perfect!).

For all of you who haven't been paying attention, here's a quick review before the test:

Space Giraffe is a psychedelic shooter in a similar vein to previous title Tempest 2000. However, the similarities end on the surface, and the developer is keen to point out that this is a different and unique game.

You can score a copy of Space Giraffe very soon on Xbox Live Arcade for a mere 400 points, which is probably a better buy (at 230 points) than trying to get your Robbie Williams fix after finding out he's the youngest man to make the Sunday's Times Rich List.

Fat dancer from "Take That" and popular British solo artist Robbie Williams is hitting Xbox Live across Europe and Asia. Good for him. His tracks "She's Madonna," "A Place to Crash" and "Lovelight" command 280 Microsoft points (230 pts. for standard def). In association with Xbox, RobbieWilliams.com is giving away five 360s and a load of games. Says Robbie,

I love playing Xbox at home and on the road, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2006 kept me company through the tour!

Oh. Okay. Beats groupies, I guess. Brian Ashcraft
