Rewind Review: Spyglass Board Games (XBLA)
Spyglass Board Games was developed by Freeverse Software and Strange Flavour and retails for 400 MSP. It was released on August 1, 2007.
Before Xbox Live Arcade annexed the hearts and minds of hardcore gamers with an assortment of genres and titles, certain games were lauded simply because they were the only option for someone yearning for a particular genre not available elsewhere on the service — Spyglass Board Games was one of those titles because it contained a reasonable simulator of the game we know as chess. Although XBLA still only offers few options in that arena, Spyglass Board Games makes the same reoccurring moves and ends in a stalemate.
