Anyone particularly excited for any of these? How does this year look in comparison to past Summer of Arcade years? As with previous years if you buy all the games then you get Certain Affinity's Crimson Alliance for free when it comes out in September.

Personally I think From Dust looks nifty. Although it might prove to be simply cool technology with little substance. Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet also looks very nice and seems like it'll be fun to play. Personally I'll be keeping my eye on those two titles as potential buys. Would probably pick up Fruit Ninja Kinect if I had Kinect.

I was excited for From Dust when I thought it was a full game, not some dinky downloadable worth $15.

I'm more interested to see the Radiant Silvergun and Guardian Heroes ports (not for the horrendous looking graphic overhauls, but because I like playing games outside of mame.)

You should really look at Trenched. Has a the feel of a full priced game, but for only $15. Way better than most of the $60 games out there.

Trenched I am so getting when it gets released here in the UK. Of that list I don't really care for any of them but Toy Soldiers: Cold War. I absolutely love the first one, really unique thanks to its style as well as gameplay.
