    So who's getting what?

    Date|Title|Price (MS Points)
    July 18|Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater HD|1200
    July 25|Wreckateer|800
    August 1|Deadlight|1200
    August 8|Hybrid|1200
    August 15|Dust: An Elysian Tail|1200

    You get 400 points back if you buy 3 of them.

    Loved Tony Hawk years and years ago, so I'll probably get that, and Deadlight looks great too (any game that looks like it is inspired by Prince of Persia, Flashback, Shadow Complex and bits of Limbo is smack bang in the middle of my radar). Let's hope its a great game and a decent length.

    Cynical though the title may be ('twas only a matter of time before they appealed to its original audience in a desperate attempt to make it relevant again), THPS is a definite.

    Others, not sure yet. Wreckateers a no, anyway (there always has to be a dud to make that refund pointless). Dust could be interesting, although looks very similar to Muramasa. Hybrid, who knows. Maybe, even if the art style isn't wholly convincing, though the mechanics could be. And Deadlight? On the plus side, it looks like an unusual take on the 2D platformer. On the minus side, zombies. More frickin' zombies.

    Deadlight looks good but looking at the trailer just makes me want to go play shadow complex again - great game despite a few annoying bugs.

    Just to point out, you only need to purchase 3 of the 5 for the refund.

    Definitely THPS myself, seen nothing on the rest so will wait and see.

    Nothing in the Summer of Arcade this year for me it seems.

    Where did all the fun little XBLA puzzlers and board games go? :(
