Summer XBLA titles announced

by David Dreger { Aug 7th 2007 at 1:00PM }

Following the announcement of Track & Field yesterday, Microsoft gave us a sneak peak at the Arcade titles coming this month and in the coming weeks. They announced that this month we'll be seeing Ecco The Dolphin, which we caught on the ESRB a while back, Hexic 2, and War Worlds. Outside of August, or potentially on the tail end as a twofer, we have Geon: Emotions, Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, Streets of Rage 2, Space Giraffe, and of course, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. Out of that line up, what are you most stoked for?

With the exception of War World, August's line-up is kind of dry to me. I'd consider Hexic 2, but I don't see why I'd go out and pay for it.

But the other five games are ones I've been getting really excited about, so at least I know I'll have some great XBLA titles to look forward to next month.

definetely streets of rage 2 loved that game on mega drive

Streets of Rage 2. It brought me back to Sega from the Neo.

Puzzle Quest for sure.

I'll try the demos for Geon and Space Giraffe.

None actually, I haven't bought many arcade games, kinda like dustin, and I'll have to play the trials first. Judging by what i've seen so far, I won't be playing them.

What happened to Sensible World of Soccer in August?

Project Ekim @ Aug 7th 2007 1:57PM

Where the hell is Ikaruga?

Puzzle quest sounds good. Ever since the penny arcade guys got a big homosexual boner for it, i've wanted to give it a try.

but ever since small arms, i trial the shit out of every XBLA title before i buy, i'm not pissing away another $10 to hype.

I'll give puzzle quest a try. I've been wanting to try it ever since the penny arcade guys got a huge gay boner for it.

as for the rest, ever since Small arms, i demo all the XBLA games before i buy. I'm not wasting another $10 to hype.

Space Giraffe! and streets of rage 2! (i have one on my genesis! lol) and Street fighter II turbo hd remix super special awesome edition! :)

Odog4ever @ Aug 7th 2007 4:04PM

Puzzle Quest! Considering I maxed out all 4 of the classes available in the PC demo...

Oh and Hexic 2 for my girlfriend.

Toph @ Aug 7th 2007 2:33PM

Puzzle Quest and Streets of Rage 2. I'll demo Hexic 2, but if it's a ton of fluff, then i'll not buy.

Slvrgun @ Aug 7th 2007 3:01PM

Where is Ikaruga or better yet Project RS3 that Treasure is supposedly cooking up?

Please get Radiant Silvergun on XBLA!

M. Dizzy @ Aug 7th 2007 4:09PM

Oooh ooh Ecco the Dolphin!

Seriously though...we all know that it's all about the SPF2THDR

Jared @ Aug 7th 2007 4:16PM

@ Grant: Does that mean that Puzzle Quest is a dude?

Just cause you have a boner for a game, doesn't necessarily mean it's a homosexual boner, yes? ;)

Back on topic, WHERE THE HELL IS SSFIIHD Remix, gallblameit?

Jared @ Aug 7th 2007 4:17PM

whoops, forgot the "T" for turbo in that ridiculously long abbreviated title.

Etchasketchist @ Aug 7th 2007 6:20PM

Meh. I'll rock Street Fighter and maybe some Ecco, but I'm still waiting for that Etch-a-Sketch game. It's gonna be awesome!

Turboman @ Aug 8th 2007 8:59AM

Puzzle Quest is probably only one I'm going to buy. Finally long rpg game for xbla. I don't care even if it costs over a 1000 points. I'm mean it is full price game for psp and ds + critics love it. I'll be trialing out other ones too, but dont think that going to buy 'em.
