I'm a big fan of bite sized digital distributed games and Xbox Live Arcade/PSN.
This summer is looking hot! And hot, I mean, these vidja games are the bizniz!!!
I just bought an Xbox live account on Ebay, preloaded with 16,000 MS pints (worth $200), for only $45. So, I'm ready to go.

7/21 Limbo - Just bought this, the art style is awesome [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-feglzyboY[/media]
7/28 Hydro Thunder Hurricane
8/4 Castlevania: Harmony of Despair (play with all the SOTN, GBA/DS Castlevania characters with multiplayer) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuxlZ6VTrW4[/media]
8/10 (8/25 for XBLA) Scott Pilgrim vs the World: the Game
8/11 Monday Night Combat
8/18 Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
8/25 Shank
8/31 Dead Rising 2: Case Zero

Sorry, I couldn't fit more than 2 YouTube vidoes. Just click on the links.
Anyone know more awesome digital games coming out soon?

Can't wait for Castlevania: Harmony of Despair... Limbo looks fun, too.

It's all right. I think you REALLY need to be a fan of the DS Castlevanias and a real big fan of time attack and/or grinding/treasure hunting to make this worth your money. It's even advantageous if you've played through all 3 DS Castlevanias since the bosses all follow the same patterns as the DS versions (so far anyway).

The controls are pretty crappy, we've run into so many issues with the AI, it's ridiculous, the camera controls are horrid, and they even tried to integrate an absolutely asinine story. On top of that, you can't even quit/save, you have to die before you can exit the level to save. WTF?

There's so many issues with this game that if I didn't like CV so much and co-opping (which honestly, I can't see anyone playing this one co-op for very long because it's SUPER repetitive), pass it by.

Wish I could, the only digital games I can play though are on the Wii, I don't have room for an Xbox. Though I am looking forward to cateclysm for the comp since thats gonna change wow forever. I plan on getting the digital file of that game once they announce it sometime this summer or fall since it will be the ultimate expansion for wow.

Anyone know any good digital games for the Wii? Ive been trying to find something other than my oldschool Legend of Zelda to play on it.

There are plenty of great WiiWare games:
LostWinds 1&2
MegaMan 9&10
Cave Story
NyxQuest: Kindred Spirits
Contra: ReBirth
Castlevania the Adventure ReBirth
the new Tales of Monkey Island series
You, Me, & the Cubes
World of Goo
Sword & Soldiers
the Strong Bad series
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a Dark Lord
Bomberman Blast
Dr. Mario Online Rx
Rage of the Gladiator
....and probably more good ones including virtual console games.

That's a lot of games. Jailbreak anyone? ;)

Yeah, Castlevania HD is only really for the Castlevania fans. Which is me, so I still like it.

I'm really enjoying Harmony of Despair so far, but Baka is right. If you are not a Castlevania fan, you will probably not enjoy this game all that much. Also, this game was definitely designed to be played co-op. If you can't do that because you don't have gold or don't know anyone else with the game. Its not as good. I will gladly throw down though with anyone who picks it up though. FlyingElf on live.

Also picked up Limbo and thoroughly enjoying it as well. I really like a solid puzzle game and the game does a good job of pulling you into this world.
