XBLA Summer of Arcade Detailed: 5 Cool-Looking Games for $15

[Colonel Alzheimer's]

Limbo looks really cool. It seems like the kind of game I would like. Unfortunately, if there are any problems, it'll be hard to find out about them, because reviewers are going to fall in love with this game.
As a side note, the Escapist is the only site I know that would link to a competing site in order to show its users content (the Limbo link links you to a Giant Bomb video).

Only care about Castlevania.

Limbo is one of those 'artsy' for the sake of being 'artsy' games, imo.

Anyone who played the ones on the DS knows exactly why.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I am more interested in Blacklight: Tango Down

That's out tomorrow.



Sleep tight.

 

[Danzaivar]

Damn. I thought it was all 5 for $15 at first. Oh well...

 

[cheywoodward]

Looks cool, I'm going to wait for the reviews to come in but so far all of them look relatively interesting and while I'm not willing to pay $60 for a multiplayer only game $15 sounds about right.

 

[StriderShinryu]

None of them are buy on sight, though the only one that really doesn't look appealing at all is Monday Night Combat. Even Castlevania is a try the demo first game for me as I'm just not sure if the multiplayer focus is going to ruin the game or not.

 

[AbsoluteVirtue18]

I gotta wait until the 4th of August for Castlevania? sigh....

 

[LifsAndlat]

Wait, are they $15 each? Steam, you have spoiled me so much.

Argh, I know, right? I can't buy games above 20$ now even.

Are there any achievements in it?

 

[darthzew]

Limbo. I must have Limbo. It looks absolutely astounding. Here, check it out:

It's the only game I care about in the slightest on this last.

 

[Quiet Stranger]

Limbo looks absolutely beautiful and Monday Night Combat looks like someone tried to rip off TF 2, poorly I might add

Limbo is the only one I'm interested in right now. I'll play the Lara Croft demo though.

 

[SalamanderJoe]

1200 seems steep! Though saying that wasn't Shadow Complex last year 1600 mspoints?

I will have to get Limbo though. Looks completely unique. Its games like that which keeps me playing games, rather than "pew pew shooty splat dead respawn". May get Hydro Thunder as well, seeing as the original Hydro Thunder was the first PS1 game I ever played.

 

[CobraX]

Are there any achievements in it?

All Arcade titles have achievements. So let's see next Week I'm getting Blacklight, then I'll start buying all of these, then I still have Duke Nukem, Earthworm Jim, Doom 2, and Rocket Knight to buy. Oh and I need to get Crackdown 2 and Green Day Rockband.

I hate being a gamer, it costs so bloody much. It doesn't help that I don't have a job.

Limbo looks AMAZING. I must get it!
