Its been a while since I got the first inkling that someone was working on a serious curling simulation for the XBox360. The project by Dadoo Games, now called “Curling 2010″, has matured into a great looking curling game. The game is currently in play testing, and will soon be available for download through the Xbox Live service for the unbelievably reasonable price of $5.

For this you get the ability to play against a computer or friends at home or over the internet. If the video above is representative of the graphics and rock physics in the actual game, it will be awesome. I especially like the design choice to trade cheesy cartoon characters and pseudo-stadium settings typical of most console curling games for the more serene outdoor setting. I am eagerly awaiting the release of this game!

$5!
