Cool, I was wondering what was coming tomorrow.

I'll definately check out pirates vs Ninjas Dodgeball and Gin Rummy.

is this the first time we have had 3 arcade titles out on the same day?

Yeah is the first time 3 arcade titles out on the same day

^^^Yeah I believe so... Wow... Three Titles. They should do this more often!

I am still waiting for Euchre...   sadly I doubt I shall ever see Euchre on XBL

Whatever happened to that MechAssault clone arcade game that was being in the works. Has that been killed off. o.O?

Major, will this third release date for Pirates vs Ninjas actually be honoured or will it turn out to be complete bull like the previous two?

I so wanted to believe the Duke Nukem 3D release date (rumored it would be tomorrrow) - what a let-down :(

Shred Nebula and PvN Dodgeball have been scheduled to come out on the first week of September for a few weeks now. Duke Nukem was mentioned to come out "Some time" in September. So no foul here, it'll probably come out later this month, Anon 3.

PvN Apparently offers Normal Dodgeball, as well as a 8 way arena style version (the games original version, they added the normal mode later, they say). It just sounds like a fun 8 player Brawl, and the dodgeball part is just to keep the combat fun and kid-friendly. The characters seem to have personality, and the special attacks and style of gameplay appears fun, from the trailers.

Shred Nebula seems to be much more than just an average space shooter. The game is designed by one of the US designers behind Street Fighter II Hyper fighting. Given this, this games space combat is balanced like a fighting game. Ships have special moves, their size and weight gives them strengths and weaknesses, and there are combos and tactics with your unique skills that you must learn, as well as various environmental hazards that certain ships have strengths/weaknesses to.

Gin Rummy... not my kinda game, someone else will have to spit the knowledge on that one! ^_^;

Also, GamerScoreBlog reports there will be a 100 MS Points Downloadable Content pack for Poker Smash, giving us 2 new Environs/Songs. Why not report on that part too, Major?

Hey, a triple shot.  Excellent.

You know what's weird, though?  Shotest Shogi is on the Japanese marketplace, fully in English, and it's not available here.  I know Shogi has a very small audience here, but still, that's why it's got such a deep tutorial.
