Orcs Must Die!, and they will on PC, XBLA this summer
Robot Entertainment has announced that its upcoming third-person action tower-defense-style game, Orcs Must Die!, is coming to Xbox Live Arcade and PC this summer. The developer has also revealed that Microsoft Studios will be publishing and distributing the game, which just made a PlayStation Network release look unlikely. A limited run of print versions of the comic will be available at Comic-Con, where Orcs Must Die! will be playable at the Xbox lounge. A digital version of the book will be made available for free this summer. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.

Unlikely, but not impossible! Limbo, after all, was MS-published as well. (And I'm sure there were others.) It's just a shame that as of a couple of weeks ago they were admitting to a August-September release.
