Microsoft has revealed their “Summer of Arcade” lineup, featuring five top titles hitting XBLA over the coming weeks.

The first to hit Xbox LIVE will be Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2, the sequel to the top-selling twin-stick shooter, available to download for 800 points from 9am GMT tomorrow.

After that you’ll see Braid, the “mind-bending and artistic puzzle-platformer where the player manipulates the flow of time in strange and unusual ways”, hit XBLA on August 6th, with Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Galaga Legions and Castle Crashers following up on August 13th, 20th and 27th respectively. Prices for these titles have yet to be confirmed.

Also up for grabs is 100,000 Microsoft Points, a 12 month subscription to Xbox LIVE Gold and an Xbox 360 Elite console. Simply play the trial or full version of the featured Summer of Arcade game of the week and you’ll be entered into Microsoft’s prize draw.
