Of course, you'd like to know when the festivities kick off. And we'd love to tell you, but there's currently "nothing to announce" about dates. So sad.

But then you didn't? Then you never know...

Turtles in Time will be the first XBLA game I've bought since.....I literally can't remember. I got banjo kazooie for free because of the nuts and bolts deal, and I don't remember what I bought before that

Sizzling summer it will be.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 will definitely be a game worth purchasing but it would have been nice if MS offered an updated D-pad xbox 360 controller (or exchange program). Oh well.
Dr. Stabbingworth @ Jun 1st 2009 4:54PM
There are a number of simple tuts for fixing the d-pad if you do a quick google search.
In other news: I can has Perfect Dark XBLA?????

@ Dr. Stabbingworth -
I've tried those dpad mods and I still find it pretty sub par. I'm not good enough at fighting games for it to make a difference but hell even Puzzle Fighter is made harder because of a wonky dpad.
It needs a fix badly.

I hear ya, it's actually why I decided I'll get the game for the PS3, though I've been pretty firm that all multi-plats go to the 360 (all my friends have a 360 w/ Live with a select few owning a PS3). The d-pad for the 360 is garbage for this kinda game, so this game makes the exception.

Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jun 1st 2009 5:39PM
Wasn't Magic The Gathering on that list?
Turtles in time...YEEEESH YEEESH! This is delicious.
jeepgun @ Jun 1st 2009 5:41PM
Read that way too fast and read "Shadow Complex" as "Shadow of the Colossus" and then became briefly excited and then extremely confused.
FraGNeM @ Jun 1st 2009 7:22PM
If you saw the demo at the MS press conference, it's still worth getting excited about.
Rhamsey @ Jun 1st 2009 5:42PM
heres to hoping they dont screw up turtles in time
Sly, King of the First Isle of inFamous [PSN SniperChameleon] @ Jun 1st 2009 7:02PM
too bad TMNT is exclusive.
That Fuzzy Bastard @ Jun 1st 2009 7:50PM
But WHERE'S WORMS ARMAGEDDON YOU BASTARDS?!?!?!? WHERE?!?!?!?!?
I'm so saaaaaaaad!
Foxtail @ Jun 1st 2009 8:09PM
Huh? Since when do people still like TMNT? Remember, all the new games suck, the movies suck, and nothing good has come out of Ninja Turtles for over a decade? Yet we sitll get all hyped about it?
I'm more interested in Spolsion Man and Raskulls (which isn't part of the SOA, but probly released soon), which are actual original games and look like heaps of fun.

A bunch of gaming nerds (myself included) are going to be spending a lot of cash this summer. I already got Ghostbusters preordered and bought Punch Out
BlackBeltJones @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:23AM
Shadow Complex looked great at the Microsoft conference and since Nintendo refuses to make another 2D metroid (unless they make an announcement tomorrow) I guess I'm going to have to buy this to get my fix.
More importantly Monkey effing Island! Buy this game guys, it is hilarious and deserves to sell millions.
Nitemare1 @ Jun 2nd 2009 7:19AM
Trials is an awesome game! It will have you pulling your hair out and throwing controllers though windows, but damn is it an awesome game.
SyChO @ Jun 3rd 2009 11:34AM
Me want some Turtles please!!!!!!!!! That game is sooooo much fun! I hope they make it 4players co-op!!!
