im impressed that the guy who did Dust did all the coding/ art himself but it sure looks like a bunch of furry bullshit.

so all disney productions with animals and animophics are furry?

transformers beast wars was furry?

Yikes... HORRIBLE line up. Deadlight looks interesting though maybe I'm just fond of black and white.

Anyone have an idea of what else is coming out on downloadable around that time? The only thing I read was that Bellator MMA game was coming out - some sort of Tekken meets MMA which sounds pretty awesome. It got some pretty good reviews from the people who played it at E3 so maybe I'll play that this summer.

This is all I have to say......

Hmm....Not really blown away by those games.

Deadlight and Dust for me. Double D' Yall!

Hell yeah!!!

I'll probably buy Deadlight and Dust. I'm interested in Tony Hawk and Wreckateer, but I'm pretty sure I won't be able to play Wreckateer without Kinect, so I'll probably miss that one.

I don't think Hybrid will be a very good game.

Tony hawk!! Woot!

Dust and Deadlight seem to be amazing and Tony Hawk actually looks interesting, all in all a interesting showing for Summer of Arcade. Seriously Dust and Deadlight are the highlights. Anyone who got to play them at PAX East can attest to that.

Everyone who is complaining about this list, clearly didn't make it to PAX East or play the games if they where there, because if you did you would know how wrong you are.

Because as we know everyone has the same tastes.

I'm sorry your right, thank you for helping me with that.. I forgot some people have lousy taste. I guess it's the reason crap still gets made.

In all seriousness though, did you get to try the games at PAX East? If you did and didn't like it, why did you feel that way?

Pretty solid line up.

I will take some Dust and Tony Hawk HD please.

You know I gotta get that sweet, sweet Dust.

They had a killer spring for XBLA, it's ok if the summer is a little less amazing. Maybe the games turn out to be awesome, but the don't seem that high profile this time.

Dust should be a game I'll get. But where the hell is Spelunky?

I'm surprised that the Rock Band thing didn't make SoA.

Dust looks amazing, and fun as hell. Can't wait to play it.

Deadlight looks sort of like Shadow Complex set in a zombie apocalypse, which I can get behind. I'm sick of zombies like a lot of other people, but if it's done right, it's still a good setting.

Tony Hawk could be good, but I think I Tony Hawk'd myself out like 10 years ago. Not sure if I'd get back into it now.

Hybrid could be cool, but I'm not much into the cover/shooter mechanic, so I'll probably skip. And I don't have a Kinect, so even if Wreckateer looked worthwhile, it's a pass for me.

Deadlight and Dust for me. Double D' Yall!

That's great and all, but what's the news on the Steam Summer Sale?

im impressed that the guy who did Dust did all the coding/ art himself but it sure looks like a bunch of furry bullshit.

Pass.

None of these look good to me. That's a first for Summer of Arcade.

Deadlight and Dusk look awesome. Usually I only am excited for one game out of the 5 so the lineup is definitely better this year.

Right now the only game I will for sure buy is Tony Hawk HD...depending on what deal they work out for buying them all...I may be willing to take the plunge on all 5 though.

Not into Hybrid or Wreckateer, but the rest looks alright. Well see tho, previous Summer of Arcade have been pretty terrible.

So is TOny Hawk HD going to be exclusive to Xbox or will it be coming to PS3 as well?

@Landon: Mostly from the gameplay footage that I found somewhere.

Looks promising! Deadlight and Dust look really good and I have never played a Tony Hawk game before, so that will be interesting to try out. Heard good things about Hybrid too.

How are you so sure? There's not even gameplay of it anywhere.

I'd be more into Hybrid if they played Hybrid in the background.

Deadlight looks awesome.

Dust is probably the only one I'll end up getting. I really enjoyed those old Tony Hawk games, but I don't know if I want to play them again now. I know nothing about Deadlight, so I don't know if I care about it or not.

Tony Hawk and Dust for me. Depending on what/how Deadlight is, I could also see myself going for that.

Don't really see anything I'm too interested in.

And they only mentioned / showed off the awful one of these games at their pres conference. Why???!!! An Elysian Tail is a much more compelling game then a clear copy cat of various phone / touch games. So is Hybred. Hell I've never head of any of the rest but even they look better then Wreckateer. Who the hell do they think watch these pres conferences, teenage girls that like kinect and Angry Birds? No, I'll tell you who watches these conferences, people who are interested in games and the creativity behind them. Oh yeah, and then there are the Halo and COD fanatics.

Battleblock Theater still isn't ready? :(

I'm only really interested in Tony Hawk HD out of this list, which i'm guessing most people will be.

So timed exclusive for Tony Hawk since its part of Summer of Arcade?

Aside from Wreckateer, all of these games look quite good in my opinion. Absolutely cannot wait for Dust (oddly, two of my most anticipated games of the year have the word "dust" in the title), Tony Hawk looks great, Deadlight looks interesting, and the Hybrid beta was a lot of fun. Looks like a good summer for XBLA, especially hot on the heels of Minecraft, Fez, and Trials Evo.

Looking forward to Dust.

Hybrid looked interesting from what I saw of the beta. I'll give it a try.

Don't know anything about Deadlight.

Tony Hawk HD doesn't do much for me, but I'll try the demo because every once in a blue moon I like a skateboarding game.

I'll check out Wreckateer if I've bothered to unbox my Kinect by the time it comes out. I bought it on sale last fall, but nothing has excited me enough to bother reorganizing my gaming setup to make it usable.

Whelp, I guess Spelunky is never coming out.

Dust and Deadlight seem good, there others are a no go

Cool, I'll definitely buy Tony Hawk and I'm interested to see how Dust and Deadlight turn out.

Not really interested in any of these, except for maybe Tony Hawk.

Hybrid...i don't know...no single player and me not thinking the mp will last long = crap purchase possibly.

Dust and Deadlight look like they could be interesting.

Deadlight and Dust look great . 2 out of 5 is good enough for me ...

Dust and Tony Hawk. Everything else is irrelevant

Side note: aware that it's non exclusive so it can't be summer of arcade. Still. Where is it.

Where the fuck is Retro City Rampage?
