Mark your calendars, your Wednesdays in August just got busy.
Stuff blowing up!Microsoft isn't known for being terribly forthcoming when it comes to Xbox Live Arcade release dates. We all know this. But the company at least gave the world at a look at the August calendar today by nailing down games for the rest of the summer. Here's how it's going to shake out...
07/30 - Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2
08/06 - Braid
08/13 - Bionic Commando: Rearmed
08/20 - Galaga Legions
08/27 - Castle Crashers
You can't crash a castle without elemental powers.That's big stuff. It's crazy to think that we live in a world where Castle Crashers is finally going to be released. It feels like we've been waiting for that one for years... oh wait, that's because everyone first started hearing about it in July 2006! I got to play the first level of Castle Crashers back at E3, and it seems like the sort of hot mix of charming looks and frantic gameplay that'll make it worth the wait. Actually, of all these games, Galaga Legions is the only one I'm feeling a little iffy about. It felt like an interesting take on the Galaga-style shooter, but it didn't necessarily feel like a Galaga game, either. The rest of these are Day One buys in my book... how about you?
