Microsoft DID invent the concept of anticipated games becoming sparse in the last year or two of a console life cycle, so I definitely see where you're coming from here.

XBOX @ E312 More Coverage (on the main dash page) inside that there is an ad for the trailer for Abraham Lincoln. It's at the end of that.

Got it, thanks!

This interests me. I played the beta of Hybrid and I was thoroughly unimpressed. It had some neat ideas but it just felt like poor execution. Also I have never gotten into the Tony Hawk games so I had zero interest in it.

This trailer has the blurb at the end of it about the buy any 3 and get 400 back.

It's hardly surprising for Microsoft to fail at everything they do. But hey, at least SoA has more games than the entire MS conference.

What the hell did I just watch? Anyways, thanks for posting. My guess is that a lot of people whined about having to buy all 5 to get a bonus last year (esp. because of the Kinect game) so this year they're doing a smaller reward but letting you pick 3. I MAY grab Dust, Deadlight, and Tony Hawk. Depending on the prices.

Jesus Christ, ANOTHER week of Borderlands DLC as as DOTW. This must be the 20th time this has been on sale.

Funny, at first I read SoA as Sony of America, then I realized it was meant to be Summer of Arcade. Still fits though...

I did feel a bit let down by Microsoft this year. The new media for the AAA titles was okay, but not great. The Smart Glass app and the browser announcement actually grabbed my attention more than the games did. Looks like Microsoft is eating Apple's and Nintendo's lunch, (air-play like app that functions with any tablet that looks like it'll put the Wii U tablet to shame).

Even with the non-game offerings, there was still that lurking feeling in the back of my head that next year's reveal of the 360's successor is going to blow anything shown this year out of the water. The rumor mill is running rampant now. Word is that we'll see a 16 core processor with a quad card SLI configuration for graphics. I'll be ready to plunk down my money on day one, provided they don't screw us out of used games, and we don't get "EA-d", (project $10 for every game).

What a poop-shoot.

Perhaps next week, we'll actually get something worthwhile.
