[NEWS] Xbox Live Summer of Arcade ’12 Is Upon Us

Mat Paget

Every year, Microsoft lines up a summer of sometimes great titles for us to play during the inevitable summer drought that happens every year to the videogame industry. Although I don’t believe this summer will be as bad as some we’ve experienced in the past, the upcoming titles in this year’s Xbox Live Summer of Arcade are looking to be pretty great. Below are the prices, and release dates, of the downloadable titles we should be expecting this year.

July 18 – Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD – 1200 MSP

July 25 – Wreckateer – 800 MSP

August 1 – Deadlight – 1200 MSP

August 8 – Hybrid – 1200 MSP

August 15 – Dust: An Elysian Tail – 1200 MSP

And there you have it! If you purchase any of the three titles above, you’ll be refunded 400 MSP. Pretty cool, right? And it can’t possibly be just a coincidence that Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater makes its return on my birthday, can it? Either way, we still have a month to wait before the Summer of Arcade starts. What games do you plan on picking up?
