Summer of arcade 2012

All right folks, the schedule for this year’s Xbox Live’s Summer of Arcade has been revealed. Last year brought us several good games, including the indie-darling Bastion, so expectations are high for this year’s offerings. Before we reveal the schedule, lets go through the games briefly. Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD is a remake of the classic skate-boarding game with improved controls and visuals, Wreckateer is a castle destruction game for the Kinect that had a groan-worthy E3 showing but a potentially fun mechanic, Deadlight is a 2-D survival horror game that has you wandering a zombie-infested city, Hybrid is a new third-person shooter by Microsoft that is heavily focused on Multiplayer, and Dust: An Elysian Tail is a sword slashing beat-em-up where you play a wandering swordsman wandering a beautiful world. The schedule for these games’ release dates and prices are as follows:

July 18 Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD 1200 pts

July 25 Wreckateer 800 pts

August 1 Deadlight 1200 pts

August 8 Hybrid 1200 pts

August 15 Dust: An Elysian Tail 1200 pts

Buying all these games will net you 400 Micrososoft points.

So, what games are you looking forward to?

    Shame the only game I’m interested in that list is 1200 msp. I wish Microsoft would just abandon the point system and do what Sony does, use real life currency. Having to buy a 1000 pack than a 500 pack is not fun.
