Microsoft unveils Summer of Arcade lineup

Some of the big news coming out of E3 is this summer’s lineup for Microsoft’s Summer of Arcade. The promo will feature a few games already covered by Armless Octopus and others that are new to the scene. The stylized action-RPG Bastion and art-driven, Metroidvania-style Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet are the most familiar titles, which we’ve covered with previews. Two others, Toy Soldiers: Cold War – a MOBA/FPS combo – and the terraforming From Dust, were on the radar. Last up, Fruit Ninja Kinect, which is fresh from E3, will be there for all your fruit-dissecting needs.

The whole event kicks off on July 20, but the specifics for which game comes out when and for how much is still a mystery. Check back with Armless Octopus often as we keep the XBLA news from E3 coming.
