The snow has melted, the shorts and t-shirts are back out, and that means summer is finally here. Warm weather usually means more time to go out, but for some of us that aren’t as UV friendly or are creatures of the night, it just means we finally get to put the A/C back in the window so our consoles don’t become molten hot. Major Nelson today popped the cap of this summer’s Summer of Arcade for 2011. To kick off the summer in a big way, come July 20, Xbox 360 owners will finally be able to get their hands on the first Summer of Arcade game Bastion. The list in it’s entirety has been added, and if you buy all the games from the SoA 2011 package, gamers get the game Crimson Alliance for free!
