    Limbo. No question about it. Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light looks pretty good, and I'm cautiously optimistic about Castlevania but Limbo is the clear winner.

    IGN is running their own poll, and I'm quite interested to see if people here feel the same way or not.

    I'll say Limbo. It's the only one that I'm even considering buying but I'm going to wait until it goes on sale sometime.

    Hydro Thunder was such a fun game back on the Dreamcast, I'm hoping its going to be just as good if not better.  
     
    For the rest of the games I haven't been that excited for them, I hear limbo is good but I don't think I would really appreciate it, the Castlevania series has never worked for me with that Metroid style game play, and the Tomb Raider game just doesn't look like it would be that fun in that over the top style....  For Monday Night Combat it reminds me of those NES games were the cover was really cool and over the top and the actual game sucks big time...  Granted it might deliver but till I see some reviews I'm not interested in MNC.

    Limbo for sure, i love unique games like that and also it's a game i know for sure i'll purchase.  I too am also cautiously optimistic about Castlevania, though the multiplayer aspect turns me off.

    Limbo hands down. Although Monday Night Combat looks interesting, but those are the only two I would get.

    I really wish that I made this poll several days ago before the Limbo reviews started to hit the internet.  I have a feeling that's largely responsible for the current results.

    Limbo is obviously the only correct choice on this list, but I chose Monday Night Combat because I will undoubtedly spend more hours playing it. 
     
    Also a 6 player Co-op Castlevania sounds like quite possibly the most bitchin' thing ever. 
     
    This year's Summer of Arcade is just fucking awesome in general.

    Read Brad's Limbo review?! 
    Limbo, beyond course! 
    C: HoD is a good second. 
    And i'm fairly interested in Lara's next adventure. 
    But I probably end up buying them all, anyway.

    Having incredibly fond memories of both Symphony of the NIght and Order of Ecclesia I can't think of anything better than Castlevania co-op. Harmony of Despair will get my undivided attention. 
    Unless of course its terrible then Limbo :)

    I'm not really particularly excited for any of the games in this years Summer of Arcade, Limbo does look pretty cool though.

    I hate to say it but there are a few good games, just don't know if they will live up to their expectations. I'm curious as to how good of a game Monday Night Combat will be lol.

    Currently Limbo is the only one I know I'm going to buy, but I'm interested in how the Lara Croft game turns out, as well as the Castlevania game.

    I haven't seen a bad review for Limbo yet, with the lone critique being that it can run a bit on the short side.  
     
    I like the risk the Castlevania game is taking.  It's not what we're used to seeing and that's awesome.   Plus, it has co-op elements right?  Sold.

    Hydro Thunder! Simply because I have so many fond memories of playing the arcade game. It's going to be a complete nostalgia trip for me. 
     
    Limbo looks good though, I'll probably check it out at some point.

    Mix with with some of the best in the series, add co-op. The name and trailer alone warrant my purchase.

    Yeah the new $15 standard is a bummer, but then again a movie is now $12, which is fucking ridiculous.

    Castlevania. 
     
    I was wary about Limbo and ended up quite disappointed with that but I'm much more hopeful that Harmony of Despair will be awesome. 
    HTH is actually a pretty fun little game but I didn't think it was quite worth the 1200 points. I want Lara Croft to be good but I just don't think it will be from what I've seen. And I once had high hopes for MNC but somehow they have managed to entirely put me off the game thanks to their ad campaign :|
