Summer of Arcade continues!

Written by ButterflyEdge on 25 July 11 at 18:20

The Summer of Arcade continues this week with:

From Dust - 1200 MSP
Discover a unique Modern God game where nature is the star: From Dust, the latest original concept by Eric Chahi, visionary creator of Another World. Behold the beauty of a primitive world pulsing with life and face the might of nature. Beware the danger of a world that is constantly changing under your command. Control the destiny of a tribe struggling to survive and help it recover its ancestors’ lost powers. Immerse yourself in a world as exotically beautiful as it is dangerous. A universe where Nature reclaims what is Hers; and you are your people’s only chance of survival.http://marketplace.xbox.com/Product/From-Dust/66acd000-77fe-...


As detailed by osubluejacket in a previous post, in a special bonus, if gamers purchase all five Summer of Arcade titles, they will receive a free copy of Crimson Alliance, which is set for a September 7th release and a price point of 1200 MSP. The Marketplace describes Crimson Alliance with the following:

Explore the mystical world of the Crimson Empire in this action-RPG adventure. Chose to play as the powerful wizard, Direwolf; the battle-hardened mercenary, Gnox; or the mysterious assassin, Moonshade. Play Crimson Alliance co-operatively with up to 4 players on the same console or over Xbox LIVE. Work together combining your unique abilities against the nefarious Cult of the Soul Siren and the fearsome beasts they control. Can you stop them before their dark plans are complete?

Shame about the $15 price tag.
That being said, it looks like an awesome game, I'll just have to wait and trial it before deciding to get it when it's ineviably on deal or not. Patience is a virtue when it comes to the 1200 titles for me, buying things for 15 a pop can rack the moolah up rather quickly!

I hate 1200 price tags, but this is the rare occasion that I don't care. I will be getting this Wednesday hopefully.
Does this smell like chloroform to you?

will not buy unless price drops... the whole 1200 points is not worth these arcade games, when i can get a full game for about the same, but this game does look pretty cool
ChaosRevolution - Conclusion to Assassins Creed 3 DLC......Eh. Was fun but not all that great.

Bastion is amazing. The trial was anyway, I really want that game. This one looks fun as well, need to try the demo.
BloodwCinnamon - No renting and a used "re-charge" fee. I simply can't justify the cost when PS4 isn't pulling this shit.

xKRIS DETHx said:It says on the Summer of Arcade Facebook "Game" that From Dust is going to be 800 MS PointsI hope you're right. If it's 1200 points I'm definitely passing until it goes down in price. If it's 800, there is more of a chance of me getting it sooner. Still have to try the trial first though.
wait.....what am I signing here?

Too much on backlog, and too much pre-ordered in the upcoming months. As with most of the XBLA games coming out, I'll probably wait until they are on sale before deciding to make a purchase.

@xKRIS DETHx:

Sadly it was confirmed that it would be 1200MSP so maybe that info on the facebook was wrong.
Though I hope it was true because 1200MSP is a lot :/ though still gonna get it :P

1200 is the standard for games of this quality so get used to it.

What is wrong with you people? Dont you have jobs? You still in school? 1200 isnt much.

$5 really makes a lot of you stop and consider not getting a game? Maybe try not getting so many fast food meals a week and you might be able to afford things. j/k
Mercenary Girl - i wish i was still home in new york to celebrate the giants win. Best touchdown ever was at the end of that game lol
