Space Giraffe finally hits Xbox Live tomorrow, but not without a spot of anger and controversy surrounding it. Namely, Jeff Minter, the game's creator, has slammed the Official Xbox Magazine reviewer who gave the much-anticipated game a measly 2/10.

Over on Llamasoft's YakYak forums, Minter writes:



Not a happy Mr Minter. He indicated that the reviewer's score indicates he wasn't playing correctly. He summed it up nicely when he added, "In short, the leaderboards show that OXM Dan was playing the game in about the most shit way possible, and being absolutely crap at it. The leaderboards also show a lot of other people playing the game rather well, so we know it's not the game at fault here.

"Basically he was just rubbish." Burn!

Joining Space Giraffe on Xbox Live tomorrow is Street Trace NYC, a hover-board racer set against a grim futuristic backdrop. The boards are customisable, with nastiness such as lasers, mines and rockets to be had.

Both games will set you back 800 Microsoft Points. For more on Space Giraffe have a look at SPOnG's dedicated game page and see our Q&A with Jeff Minter here and here.
