Microsoft has confirmed that the popular annual Summer of Arcade promotion is set to kick off in just 3 weeks, bringing with it a number of new and exciting Arcade games to Xbox LIVE.

So get those calendars out and start marking down the following:

Title	Date	Price
Bastion	July 20	1200 MS Points
From Dust	July 27	1200 MS Points
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet	August 3	1200 MS Points
Fruit Ninja Kinect	August 10	800 MS Points
Toy Soldiers: Cold War	August 17	1200 MS Points

As an added incentive, anyone who purchases all fives games before midnight on 23 August will get Certain Affinity's upcoming action-RPG Crimson Alliance - valued at 1200 MSP - for free! At least, that's if you live in a country that's not Brazil, Japan and, as usual, South Africa. It's likely that South Africa won't get all fives games on the local Marketplace, which is why local accounts aren't part of the offer. Those local gamers with UK/US accounts should be eligible though.
