Looks like August is going to cost me a lot of points between Castle Crashers, Galaga, and Bionic Commando

Honestly, that's the game I'm interested in least next month... and not because I don't think it looks good, but because August as a whole is freaking solid.
Nice.

About time!! I guess best for last :)
That also gives me enough time to get my 360 fixed, it just broked on me. I don't get RROD, and it probably has to do with the video card cause it turns on fine, what should I do???

Keep turning it off and on. I got the one red light early this month and since my console is out of warranty, I was praying for the RRoD. I kept turning the console off and on and eventually it did die completely. So try that. Hell, I don't know what I did..
Regarding the XBLA lineup this month..MEGAT0N! Just about an hour ago I was writing game release dates (in PENCIL:) ) on my calendar and was wondering when Castle Crashers would be dated. Super cool!

or, instead of tinkering with it yourself you could accept the inevitable and send it in to microsoft before your warranty coverage expires.
even if you get it working once more the odds are stacked high in favor of it breaking again. would you rather wait until august starts to have it crap out or get it taken care of now??

Wrap it in a towel, let it overheat. You'll get the RROD soon enough. You can always swap one at a store. Every Target I've ever bought a 360 in doesn't keep tabs on the serial number.
You could just pay to have it fixed! Nah... who wants to do that?!
Just steal Athena's console.

Awesome lineup, getting them all. Galaga Legions is going to be rad, if it's done as well as Pac Man C.E.

Quality. 2-D platformers and shooters are the kinds of genres that XBLA was made to preserve. It's been a while since I've been tempted to download an arcade game.

I like how it's the summer of arcade, but it's practically friggin' August.

I have Pub Games down for August 13. I can't recall where that information came from, but I think it's pretty solid.

I just don't understand the hype of castle crashers. It just doesn't look like one of those games that really deserve it.

That's one helluva line-up. It's going to be hard to resist buying all of them...

An excellent line up and about time we get real release dates! My only disappointment is no Ninja vs. Pirates Dodgeball, that game looks like a ton of fun!!!
