who's looking forward to it? personally i'm most interested in 'from dust' because it looks kind of cool and different from your regular game. bastion and insanely twisted shadow planet look decent too, but i don't think i'd buy them for full price. and i find it hilarious that they have the audacity to charge 10$ for fruit ninja

I might get bastion, it has the looks of a 16bit action rpg, I hope that it's also fun to play.

Fruit Ninja Kinect sounds fun.

the marketplace links for all the games work for me. major nelson's blog on the other hand seems to be down for now.

even though it didnt make it into the summer of arcade, Trenched is fantastic.

Fruit Ninja is a great time waster on my Windows Phone. Hope it is just as enjoyable for Kinect.

reviews for bastion have started coming out. current metascore is 87, and most reviewers seem to love it.

the game looks absolutely fantastic too, but it's coming to pc later this year so i think i'm going to wait for that.








from dust is coming to the pc too, and it will release on steam alongside xbla next week. definitely getting that on steam.
