Unless you are a newcomer to the ways of E3 press conferences, you know all about the use of montages. Whether there are too many games to mention, or you just have a bunch of trash the people watching your conference won't care about, a montage will have your back, guaranteed.
Not to be confused with the second annual "Summer of Arcade" line-up, the following video (located after the break) showcases a bunch of Xbox LIVE Arcade games that are currently in the works and will hopefully be out sooner than later. Are you ready for this? Take a deep breath.
There's footage of 'Splosion Man, Shadow Complex, TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-shelled, The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Battlefield 1943, Joy Ride (shown above), and Trials HD. Not too shabby, guys. Not too shabby. I think it's about time I stocked up on Microsoft Points.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Mmm...Battlefield 1943 is really nice looking. I stopped playing Battlefield 2 three years ago. Nice to see that the Battlefield series is still alive.
Joy Ride looks lie it might be a similar sort of fun to Beetle Adventure Racing, which is long overdue a comeback. Actually I vote for Beetle Adventure Racing for a games time forgot feature if it's not been done already.
Fuck, I want all of these. Joy Ride might be skipable, we'll see. The rest of them look like must-haves. Especially Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Trials HD. h
I'm excited for these releases. I really hope the Ninja Turtles game is abbreviated as TMNT: TIT on the dashboard. That hilarity of that acronym just occurred to me. Thanks, Grafkhun!

...I can dig it.
You mean collecting all the apples and touching the flower? That would be Elastomania. Man, good old times...
And a big hurray for the Monkey Island remake!
The South Park XBLA game was set for spring, and we have heard literally nothing about it. The game has probably been abandoned for some reason.
