Spelunky is out now!

Spelunky is out now on the Xbox Live Arcade folks! That is amazing news. You no doubt remember me talking about Spelunky last year - it's an amazingly addictive game, a cross between a platformer and a roguelike - looking cute and deceptively simple, but blending in a deep and brutally punishing system beneath the surface. The Xbox Live Arcade version brings an updated graphic set, multiplayer, better controls and a host of other new features - and it's definitely worth the 1200 Microsoft Points you'll put into it.

Of course, if you're not sure if it's your thing, you can still grab the original version for free from the official website, or you can just trust me, because I am smart. Spelunky's creator Derek Yu has said that a PC release of the updated XBLA version is probable too - but for now, go grab it on your Xbox 360! No, I don't care if you're at work - get in your car, go home and sort yourself out. People are starting to talk behind your back.

Embedded below is the trailer for Spelunky, which you can also watch in our videos library. Have you grabbed it already or are you daring to tempt fate? Let us know in the comments below!
