Acclaim's Zoocube is coming; here's a look at the press release. (And some commentary to help wade through the PR fluff.)
"Spring Releases Feature Innovative 3-D Graphics, Addictive Arcade Game Play and Vast Mass-Market Appeal"
Read: It's a 3D puzzle game.
"Bringing an exciting new dimension to puzzle-solving games, Acclaim Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ.SC: AKLM) today announced that it will release ZooCube for the Nintendo GameCube(TM) and Game Boy(R) Advance."
Read: The third dimension is new.
"Available this spring, ZooCube has been heralded for its innovative design and is the first true 3- D puzzle game available for the next-generation systems."
Read: We hope you'll like it. There's nothing like it on Gamecube yet, at least.
"ZooCube delivers an entirely unique puzzle-solving gaming experience, that is highly addictive and perfectly suited for the rapidly expanding mass- market Nintendo audience," said Evan Stein, Vice President of Brand. "Striking an excellent balance between 'ease-of use' and 'difficulty-to- master,' ZooCube possesses great replay value to help make it a long-time favorite among gamers."
Read: It's a puzzle game...
"Created by PuzzleKings, ZooCube takes puzzlers to a whole new dimension - the third dimension."
Read: Once again, 3D is a new concept. (Sarcasm)
"Around the world, animals have been transformed by shape-altering science experiments and need help in returning to their natural state. Players use their ZooCube to rescue and return the animals to the flying ark."
Read: OK, so scratch the falling blocks, looks like we'll be shape-shifting animals with a ZooCube.... Pretty interesting, I'd say.

Delivers a unique experience every time as no two games are ever the same;
