Microsoft recently announced their Summer XBLA releases. There are no big surprises. Most, if not all the games listed were announced in July at E3.

“There have been over 45 million Xbox LIVE Arcade game downloads as of July, and the popularity of the service continues to grow. Over 100 games will launch on Xbox LIVE Arcade by year’s end, including dozens of original Intellectual Properties and classic titles updated for this generation.”

These games will be hitting XBLA before the end of August;

  • Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords (D3Publisher of America, Inc.): Addictive and easy-to-learn, this game integrates story and character progression elements found in RPGs delivering a brand new type of game that pushes the puzzle genre to a whole new level.
  • Space Giraffe (Llamasoft): Created by genre-defining game designer Jeff Minter, Space Giraffe is a psychedelic shooter that spans 100 levels, all set against vivid, pulsating backgrounds that synchronize with any custom music selection.
