I bought the first two games in the lineup with Splosion Man and Marvel vs Capcom 2, and have been pretty satisfied with the quality and and look forward to playing Shadow Complex later this month. This week though TMNT comes out, and it is also discounted to celebrate the anniversary of the turtles. The Snes game of Turtles in time is an awesome beat-em-up, but I really want to get some more Fallout 3 content. Anyway, this Summer of Arcade has been pretty awesome, so check out a few of these games!
