A new 4 player brawler with 15 stages and goofy personality? Not bad.
LoL at "crowded Beat-em-up genre" comment, though. We get like, 2, 3 per year when we're lucky?

I guess this would be the relevant thread to ask this question:
Any firm dates yet on Radiant Silvergun, Bangio, or Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike? Thanks;

five 2d looking games, microsoft will throw in some 3d titles to cover all regions of good/bad taste for playersOnPoint said:
I do expect most of those 5 to be in it, but something 3D or sport themed will be in the mix for sure.

I don't believe so.
Generally we don't find out about release dates for XBLA games till a week or two beforehand. Maybe a month or so if it's for a big promotion like House Party.

What makes you say that? They seem to go with things they think will generate interest more than anything. I don't see any pattern to suggest they put certain things in there just to appeal to the masses.

Replace Spelunky with Trenched, and shuffle them so that Trenched has the MNC spot from last year, and there you go.
Yeah, Vampire Smile might get on there, but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't. I think it's a strong enough property to sell on its own.
I wish you could have read the article, though. I didn't mean to predict these five titles were coming out for sure, I was just listing the five I most want to see on the promotion this year with a slight probability scale as to whether they will or not. I have a really good feeling about two of them specifically.
Honestly, I expect a game to be revealed this week at PAX East that will end up on the promotion, much like Hydro Thunder Hurricane was revealed at PAX East last year and ended up coming out in the summer.
If Insanely Twsited Shadow Planet ends up at PAX East as a demo like I think it will, I don't count that as the new reveal, as we've known about it for quite some time.

We know more will be revealed about ITSP on Friday so yeah, we can bet on the game being at PAX.
There are so many games that can legitimately get a spot for the Summer of Arcade ... I've just read that Bastion is almost finished for example. The XBLA is going to have another great year and there will have other opportunities for the ones that can't get in.

Islands of Wakfu gameplay videos :
http://xboxygen.com/Medias/Videos-Xbox-360/Islands-of-Wakfu-videos-maison-7907
The game was supposed to be released in 2009 and have twice more levels but dev issues happened and then we'll only get it in 3 weeks (for 1200 points). 7 hours of gameplay. While the graphics can be seen as kiddy the real targets are core gamers so the game is difficult enough. The dev wants to sell 300 000 copies and a second game might appear if that wish comes true.

Coming out soon after Torchlight, I find myself slighty more curious about Wakfu, since it offers Co-Op play. It's graphic style looks rather similar to Bastion, and they both remind me of the old PS1 Romancing Saga / Legend of Mana stuff, which is great company to keep.
Unless it's controlls feel absolutely horrible, I can guarentee them at least 1 purchase ^_^

Star Trek DAC was marked down on the Xbox website when I looked, I think the other secret sales may be on there, too.
Downloaded Guardian of Light and all of the add-ons now that it's on sale. Well, I already had the first expansion downloaded, so I probably paid the full $5 for that one.

Another Swarm teaser :

I'm sure they have the same marketing plan Worms had back in the days.

Thanks.
Really looking forward to it, I only hope they don't rush it for SoA.
Right, it is not often I have an inquiry of my own to ask about the status of a game, but conventional research methods have yielded nothing thus far. I am wondering about the fate of Bonk: Brink of Extinction, given everything that has happened to Hudson, I do not know if this game has been cancelled or not.
I think I've seen a video from an artist who worked on the game not so long ago. Looking for a job.

The section on the dashboard also lists other recent-ish price drops like Hydrophobia, Penny Arcade Ep1, Ep2, The Lost And the Dammed all down to 800msp along with some other price cuts on game DLC and Games on Demand.

I just bought the Lode Runner expansion pack.
People really should check out Lode Runner, it's quite good. It got a bit lost in the shuffle as a 1200 point game, personally I think it's worth that, but in any case now that it's 800 with cheap DLC levels, it will sell a lot better.

Wow, yeah. Ghostbusters: SoS multiplayer looks just like a war shooter! How interesting, I wonder how they'll tie that in with the story
