Xbox Live’s Summer Of Arcade Is Back! Check Out An Awesome New Title Every Wednesday In August!
Hmm… Maybe it’s finally time to pick up a new Xbox 360.
It’s August, and the hottest time of the year for many of us. This, of course, means that it’s also the best time of the year to turn on a fan (or AC if you’re lucky enough), grab a controller, and get some quality gaming done.
The Xbox team fully understands this, and again have launched an awesome ‘Summer of Arcade’ promotion that will last throughout August. Each Wednesday in August (including the 7th, which has already passed… whoops), an awesome, must-play new arcade title will release on Xbox Live, leading up to the highly anticipated (and covered) release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.
Each Wednesday at 3PM on the Polaris YouTube channel, All That‘s Lisa Foiles (who we had on the show just a few short months ago) will host a live show featuring that week’s new title (plus prominent YouTube gamers JesseCox, Raychul Moore, and GameGrumps). The new games will release the same day, and you’re definitely going to want to play all of them. Here’s the schedule and a description of each title:
August 7th – Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons – 1200 Microsoft Points
Guide two brothers on an epic journey. Control both at once with each thumb stick in co-op play like never before. Explore puzzles, varied locations and fight boss battles.
August 14th – Charlie Murder – 800 Microsoft Points
Fallen punk rock idols Charlie Murder must face off against rival death metal band Gore Quaffer and their army of the damned in an RPG brawler hybrid inspired by coin-op beat ‘em ups and dungeon crawlers.
August 21st – Flashback – 800 Microsoft Points
Conrad B. Hart of the G.B.I. is re-enlisted for the return of an acclaimed gaming franchise. Uncover an alien conspiracy, getting through complex & deadly environments.
August 28th – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows – 1200 Microsoft Points
TMNT: Out of the Shadows returns to how it all began. Become the four turtles fighting to save New York City from mutants, the Foot & Shredder.
Damnit. All of these games look and sound incredible. What’s a guy to do? Let us know which games you’ll be picking up, and check out the Summer of Arcade announcement video below!
