5 XBLA games announced for release this summer

[StrainedEyes]

"The long wait is almost over. A Microsoft representative confirmed to IGN today that Castle Crashers is coming out this summer. That means it will release prior to September 21, 2008. The same can be said of the other four games on the E3 show floor. Braid, Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Galaga Legions, and Geometry Wars 2 will all be made available on the Xbox Live Arcade in the summer months."

Castle Crashers

Braid

Galaga Legions

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2

Bionic Commando: Rearmed

I think Castle Crashers and Braid look the most interesting.

Besides Galaga and Geometry (i´m not much into shumps nowdays), i will get the others.
But most of all, Castle Crashers

ps - I think that in the MS conference, Mattrick said that Geometry is coming next week

 

[RickO'Connell]

Will Geometry Wars 2 have Online Multiplayer ?

I wish they would release more older games, rather than creating new ones.

[Addendum]

Aside from Geometry Wars, all those have hooked me

 

[newmexneon]

Meh. I want some more old stuff.

[YoungE808]

Geometry wars will actually be the only one of those I'll get.

 

[Brainiac 8]

I just want "Super Street Fighter II HD Remix Super Duper Mega Fantastical Version 2.0 Upgrade!"

I wish they would hurry up with it.

Braid comes out this week, and it looks fantastic-

^Did you not even read the first post?

Personally I'll be all over Castle Crashers.

I'm getting Castle Crashers, Braid, and maybe Bionic Commando. XBLA needs more games like these and less top-down shooters.

 

[Soapy]

^Definately. They really went overboard with those for a quite a while.

mmmmm geometry wars

Braid review - 8.8

The only real complain is the length, it's short.

 

[StrainedEyes]

Braid is awesome. It's a little pricey (1200 points) and it's a little short. But is very well made and pretty challenging. XBLA needs more games like this.

 

[Soapy]

Yeah, I love it so far. I've completed the puzzles on the first two worlds. Three and four are really sticking it to me, though.

Great game for sure.

 

[StrainedEyes]

I got hooked and finished it this morning. The final level is genius. Really changes the feeling for the rest of the game.

 

[Soapy]

It really does.

I just finished it, and wow! Incredible last level. Incredible game as whole, actually.

 

[strikezone89]

i played braid... its really cool
worth the points

 

[Untilteld]

I hate all XBLA games.

 

[Soapy]

I guess you've played every single one, huh?
