The Summer Of The Arcade II starts Wednesday, I think. I wonder what we're getting first...

Last night he slaughtered me over and over --- so i said "well, i will go back and play the first guy in the campaign" -- he tore me up too. I guess i was just having some bad luck last night.

i did try to play my first online match, but the guy got frustrated with the cards he was being dealt and quit after ten minutes.

am i at a disadvantage online not having all of the extra cards unlocked?

I can say that dropping the difficulty down does help. I got to through the 14th guy on "Archmage", but #15 was about impossible. I dropped it down to "Mage" and destroyed him and the final guy in one shot each.

There were a few plays they made that I said "Really?" out loud.

* 'Splosion Man I might get this, depending on the demo

* Shadow Complex I am SO getting this!

* TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-shelled meh.

* Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 getting it on PSN/PS3

* Monkey Island Special Edition doubt it

* Trials HD don't know what this is

Sounds good, I'll probably get Shadow Complex, TMNT (woot!), MvC2 (woot woot!), Monkey Island SE (Hellll yeah.)

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 
Shadow Complex and Monkey Island for sure for me. Possibly Turtles, might have to check the demo first.

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 
Shadow Complex, TMNT and Monkey Island are must buys and maybe Trials. It had some interest at E3 from some of the game journalists.

On his podcast, Major said it was:

Garou (Fatal Fury): Mark of the Wolves
Droplets
Sorry! Sliders

No sign or mention of Summer of Arcade.

See here:

As for me, definitely Shadow Complex, probably Monkey Island, and maybe for 'Splosion Man depending on whether the demo grabs me.

To show 800 points, you have to be signed in and a Gold member (and not have already purchsed it).

I have the PC version of Trials (via Steam) and it is a super fun physics-based dirtbike platformer, if that makes any sense. :lol:

RichC2 06-22-09 12:44 PM

Re: XBLA Thread Part thrizzee (3)
 
I do hope Shadow Complex is successful, I love me some 2D action platformers.

though I do suppose it's a bit much to hope for a BC:R version of Blaster Master.

I'm a little to old to have ever been a Turtles fan, and beat 'em ups (especially those focused more on multiple players, as I have no video-game playing friends) mostly bore me to tears.

Don't forget about Battlefield 1942 as well.

Pretty sure Battlefield is coming this week, as well as Garou: Mark of the Wolves. That would mean they both precede the "Summer of Arcade".

Are you as sure of that as you were of the RB2 update hitting during E3? ;)

Sorry to burst your bubble. Of course, they may surprise us so I hope you and Decker are right and SoA starts this week.
