The "Summer Of XBLA" is here on Microsoft's X-Box Live service, and starting it off is Twisted Pixel's Platformer "Splosion Man". A game where you use your body to explode and propel yourself vertically in the air to reach great distances.
For gamers who enjoy the simplicity of old school platforming action, simplistic yet engaging gameplay, odd '80s references, fantastic N64 era Rare-style music and wonky humor, you can't go wrong with Splosion Man. Featuring 50 simgle player levels and a completely separate 50 levels for multiplayer, as well as an unlockable "Hardcore" mode, you will definitely be getting your worth out of 800 Microsoft points ($10) as well as some free gamerpics and a free premium theme for your X-Box 360.
The Summer Of XBLA to me, is a nice way of making up for the traditional "summer drought" of retail video games, and deliver high quality download experiences on par with those from the glory days of simplistic gaming. With more games like Splosion Man, download services are now becoming THE place to go for that new fresh old school gaming experience.
