New 'South Park' XBLA Details, Genre Included

We know almost nothing about the "South Park" game, in development at "Geometry Wars: Galaxies" developer Doublesix Games, for Xbox Live Arcade next year.

A little digging around, however, has lifted noteworthy details on "South Park."

One, it will be the first game published under the Xbox Live Productions label, Microsoft's new first-party partnership initiative for XBL Arcade content.

Two, "South Park" will be a strategy game, according to Xbox.com. That doesn't tell us much, except that worries of a sequel to Acclaim's not-so-acclaimed "South Park" first-person-shooter can probably be put to rest.

For the record, I actually liked that game.

Microsoft made the "South Park" announcement at E3 last month at a press conference they said didn't have room for Bungie's next "Halo" game, so they must consider it pretty important. Are you looking forward to it?
