Was War World the game shown at E3 in that arcade trailer thing? That looked quite good, didn't expect it to be out so soon.

Still seems like an excellent lineup, especially with SWOS round the corner too =)

Edit: Looks like it was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5i4EZr8GCQ

War World looks like it might be damn good!

Sweet, got 400 points just waiting. Space Giraffe this month too, can't wait!

[Yoshimax]

what a list !! sor2 will be my first 200/200

[Ajay1986]

Christ what a list has to be the best month for XBLA ever if its true, in fact id say that list makes a better month then anything the Wii and PSN have come up with as well.

[VR46]

So there's 8 games on that list, plus Track & Field and Sensible Soccer.

10 releases for the remainder of August ?

But onlly 1 release this week, I'm sceptical too...

[ChrisF]

Well I think it means that the top 3 are for August, the rest are "in the coming weeks" (i.e. after august)

[VR46]

You're probably right, strange no SS on the list though.
