Ahoy me hearties, it be another edition of Xbox Live Arcade Wednesdays, and those scallywags at Microsoft be bringing us some buried treasure. Aye, this week we be getting our hands on Strawdog Studios Geon: Emotions.

Now I be the first to be tellin’ ye that I be havin’ no idea what this one be about. There be no doubt in me mind, that the description of Geon that Xbox.com be serving up be the biggest pile of manatee leavings that I be ever seeing. From what little scuttlebutt I could find at the bottom of Davy Jones Locker, the game be something in the lines of that rascal Marble Blast Ultra, but I really can’t be bein’ sure.

Me advice to you matey, is to be sure to be downloading the demo of this one before ye be putting down any of ye hard earned swag on the game. There just be too many questions about what ye should be expectin’ to find here. I tell ya, it be like part of an old salt’s treasure map – a mystery to be sure.

So grab your best serving wench and have a grog on me as we look at the scurvy-ridden Xbox.com product description of Geon: Emotions.
