XLA:Summer Arcade Games

If you happen to play on the 360 you have seen the Summer Arcade thing plastered all over the dashboard. Well, some really impressive games are going to be hitting the arcade this summer. Here is a list of prices, release dates and titles.

The first release will be July 22nd, with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time Re-shelled, the of in my opinion the best TMNT title. (1200 Microsoft Points)

On July 29th we get another remake, though I’m not sure if Marvel VS Capcom 2 counts as a remake. The HD health bars are certainly nice, but I suppose re-release is more appropriate in this case. (1200 Microsoft Points)

August comes in with a bang with the release of Twisted Pixel Games’ Splosion Man, revisiting old-school platforming goodness with an exploding hero for a new age. (800 Microsoft Points)

Trials HD hits Live Arcade on August 12h, a physics-based motorcycle racer that lets players create and share tracks via the magic of Xbox Live. (1200 Microsoft Points)

Last, but not least, Chair Entertainment returns to Xbox Live Arcade with Shadow Complex, a 2D shooter created using the Unreal Engine 3, set in the world of Orson Scott Card’s novel. Empire. Also co-created by Epic games. (1200 Microsoft Points)

Pretty sweet all and all. I think I really want the TMNT game. I also think that MvC looks nice, but for 122 points a piece I’m not sure.
