XBLA summer line-up dated

Monkey Island, Marvel vs Capcom and Shadow Complex
Microsoft's has revealed the release dates for this summer's Xbox Live Arcade line-up.

While this year's Summer of Arcade line-up isn't quite up to par with last year's Braid and Bionic Commando double punch, there's still Secret of Monkey Island and Epic's awesome-looking Shadow Complex to look forward too.

Turtles in Time Re-Shelled is also a remake of a brilliant SNES brawler, so be sure to get the trial down for that too if it's your sort of thing.

1200M$ Points?????????????????
Ask me left one!
Posted by Black Mantis
I can see myself buying all of these, but Monkey Island and Shadow Complex are definitely the standouts for me. 8)

A great looking selection with Shadow Complex and Trials HD getting my points first.

Oh and a word to LucasArts...whilst Monkey Island HD is a great addition, any chance of Grim Fandango or Day of the Tentacle guys, now they were great, funny, adventure games!! :D

MvC2 and the turtle ninja gang for me please, I'll try the trials for everything else.

Surely a better line up than last year's? Not that I'll be shelling out 1200 points for either Turtles or MvC2. The latter I already own on the Dreamcast so owning it again with another shit pad to use, well erm, no thanks.

Turtles is overpriced. Konami can f**k off
Posted by StonecoldMC
Were going to need Bigger Points :wink: !

I think I want all of those Games! On a side note, Fez is coing to XBLA next year, confirmed.

Woo and indeed Hoo!

Shame i now just been made redundant from my job, now how can i pay for points to get these great-looking games :( just gonna have to be a little selective.
Posted by Black Mantis
Sorry to hear that. 1 vs 100 Beta starts at 7:30 tonight if that's up your street. They have some great prizes on offer, just have to make sure you get in and win! :)

Bad news mate, and unfortunately there's a lot of people in the same boat as you at the moment but hopefully you'll find something else soon...and like you, and despite still being employed (thankfully), I'm definitely finding I have to be a lot more selective about any game purchases.
Posted by casperthedog
Lol, yeah i was gonna have a go at it anyway, hopefully get some points that way :) just will have to have my fiancee with me, as shes loves the show, good at the questions etc.
Posted by casperthedog
I know, im not the only one in my position, and luckilly my fiancee still in good work and we are not in any seroius debt or house troubles etc so proberly a bit better than others. Im sure it will all work out and i will not be game-starved
:)

MUCH better than last years lineup, are CV hittin the crack pipe again?!
Posted by sonic_uk
I'll definitly be getting Turtles In Time, although 1200 points is pushing it.
Posted by SoulChimera
I was looking forward to Turtles In Time but at that price I won't be getting it.

I thought the date for Turtles was 5th August and Splosion Man 22nd July?
Posted by flameswordsman
1200 points is £10. You can get decent full retail games pre-owned or off eBay for that. I'm afraid im not a patsy who compares these prices to the £40-50 retail games go for in shops, cos I don't pay that.

800 a piece and I probably would've been interested in the lot, but 1200 points is a moral issue that pushes my buttons.
