Next week Microsoft will be launching an easier way to check out the latest content for Xbox LIVE Arcade. But only for about a month.
This app that will allow you to browse for new games and content through an user friendly visual browser will only be available while the summer of arcade is going on, and then things will go back to normal.
Destination Arcade will be available Next Wednesday when Limbo is released. This is pretty weird since this was supposed to make finding games easier and checking out suggestions from friends.

The summer of arcade games have always been pretty impressive, and this year seems to be no different. Starting in July, these 5 games will be available for purchase:
-Castlevania Harmony of Despair (Konami Digital Entertainment)
-Hydro Thunder Hurricane (Microsoft)
-Lara Croft and the Guardian of the Light (Square Enix)
-Limbo (Microsoft)
-Monday Night Combat (Microsoft)
Out of those games, I think I'm most excited for Limbo. The atmopshere and gameplay look pretty cool, and the stlye looks to sit alongside arcade greats like Braid and Winterbottom. Look for the Summer of Arcade to start next month!
