Sploding in 30 Seconds: XBLA Goodness

Microsoft’s summer of arcade is here!  Two of the games are out and….what’s that?  Oh, the two games I’m reviewing are NOT summer of arcade?  They’re older?  Are you questioning Faceplant’s sense of timeliness?  Well ok yeah, Enosh did just review a British crime film from 2009 but I don’t think that’s fair.  Haha that is so true voice nobody but me can hear, Enosh DOES suck.  Anyway, two games!  Granted, they may not be part of the official “Summer of Arcade” that Microsoft does, but it’s always nice to get some high quality XBLA games.  One is a sequel to a previous summer of arcade gem, and the other is a port of a PSP game.  Both remind me of old school gaming experiences, though in completely different genres.  Maybe I’ll get to Bastion or From Dust, but for now, let’s do some sploding or play an entire epic RPG quest in 30 seconds.
