Another quirky platforming game with great artwork has made its way onto the download market, but this time it has co-op throughout. ScaryGirl could be a very pleasant co-op experience, but are its flaws far scarier than first meets the eye?

When Scarygirl launched on Xbox Live Arcade last week, many thought the 1200 MS Point ($15) price a little too steep. It looks like somebody at either Microsoft or Square Enix agreed, albeit belatedly. The Playstation Network version launched this week at $9.99, and now the XBLA version has dropped down to the equivalent 800 Points as well. That certainly makes the teen goth platformer more palatable.

Square-Enix dropped Scarygirl on Xbox Live Arcade with practically no notice. But it's here now, and we all have to deal with it one way or another. Based on the still-kinda-expensive-'cause-it's-hardcover graphic novel by Australian artist Nathan Jurevicius, Scarygirl is cute, slightly creepy, and co-op - a fine combination.
