As has become customary for Microsoft's E3, they have announced this year's annual Summer of Arcade line-up of games. Some of these were expected, and others may surprise you. No firm release dates were given but here's the full list:

Deadlight
Dust: An Elysian Tail
Hybrid
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD

Recently, Microsoft was polling gamers on what they wanted for a reward for purchasing all of the included games. Stay here with TA for more news on the five games as we approach the summer due dates.

Tony Hawk and Deadlight almost definitely for me. Wreckateer looked pretty lame to be frank.

Not the best Summer of Arcade list I see this year compare to the last year (I love it how I bought all of them and got Crimson Alliance for free). However, Dust is one of my personal anticipated XBLA games this year. I'm not sure what kind of promotion we'll get, but I'll see it when they announce. :)

I have ZERO interest in skateboarding but I loved the first few Tony Hawk games. Count me in for this one.

I wondered what happened to Dust. Remember seeing it a long time ago then it seemed to disappear. Glad to see it's finally coming out.

Only THPS for me, might try the others out but Wreckateer is making it hard to buy all of them, I own a Kinect, but I hate it.
sirbradenwalker - Only 47 tracked gamers have Sanctum 2 so far. That's a shame. Fun co-op but it's hard to get a good match going.

Hybrid is awful.
Played the beta for like 10 minutes, that was all I could stand.

Good to see we'll be getting tony hawk soon.

I'm excited for Tony Hawk, but I don't know anything about the other games so probably not getting them.
