Zoo Games Releasing Auditorium To XBLA, PSN, PSPgo

Casual publisher Zoo Games announced a deal to release music puzzler Auditorium to Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PSPgo (presumably through PSP Minis) some time next year. The PC game and Flash demo are still available to purchase and play online, too.
Auditorium, which has you manipulating a flow of light and sound particles into audio containers to compose a pleasing symphony, previously took home the $10,000 prize (and multi-platform publishing contract) from a competition held last July on Zoo's 2BeeGames Flash gaming portal.
“We always knew we wanted to create games professionally, but we never expected our first game to take off like this,” said Dain Saint, who makes up half of Philadelphia-based studio Cipher Prime. "For us to be in a position to publish our first title on all these platforms is like a dream come true.”
Cipher Prime also recently entered Fractal, another music puzzler, into the 2010 IGF Main Competition. The game is designed to be a "fierce intersection of fractal gameplay, dynamic audio, and kaleidoscopic visuals", in which you "combo, chain, and cascade your way through a pulsing technicolor dreamscape that reacts to your every move".

So in other words, it's just another winamp visualization "game"... uh huh.
Auditorium wasn't very compelling to me for some reason; it felt more like forced novelty than creativity or innovation. I got bored of it very quickly, and I didn't think the music was integrated in a very clever way.
