Man Bastion was simply stunning and I've been pumped for From Dust ever since the first time I saw it. This year's Summer of Arcade has been going AWESOME!!! Who needs big retail releases during summer when you can get such awesome games for cheap on Live.

Agreed. At first I was dissapointed with this years SoA cos it didn't look like it had a big hitter, but turns out Bastion was the big one (which I prefer over Castle Crashers and Braid) and the others look to be much higher quality. This isn't even counting Ms Splosion man and Crimson Alliance.

I wonder if all 7 will score 85+, Toy Soldiers looks like the weakest link to me.

Totally agree I honestly think Bastion may be my favorite Arcade game ever. Its certainly up there and I knew nothing of the game and had no plans on buying it. I was like you and thought eh Summer of Arcade looks weak this year besides From Dust but then I saw the launch trailer for Bastion and realized I had to buy it immediatly. And so far everything I've heard about Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet has been positive. Kotaku have been raveing about it saying how its an awesome cross between Metroid and older style shooters like Galaga.

And I agree Toy Soldiers looks to be the weakest link. I never played the Original on Live but it has a pretty big fanbase so it might be worth checking out.

They pulled the review, but should be back in a couple of hours.

Anyway this is a great score!

i heard sterling only gave it a 5.5 so reviews are pretty mixed. ...forgot where i heard that though. ;)
