This week's Summer Of Arcade title is Castlevania Harmony of Despair, a 2-D side-scrolling action adventure game in the same vein as series high-point Symphony of the Night, but this time there's a twist; the game features up to six player online co-op, and players can explore individually, or team up and utilise the games new combo attack system.
The environments and bosses in Harmony of Despair seem to be largely made up of assets from the recent Nintendo DS titles Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia, so if you've played all three of those games you may want to avoid this -- unless the idea of being able to play co-operatively (or antagonistically, in the game's "survival" multiplayer mode) with five friends is enough to keep you interested.
Castlevania Harmony of Despair, and is set to release on XBLA on August 4th, for the price of 1200MSP.
There's also some great news if you're a Playstation owner this week, as Sony has launched a summer sale over on the Playstation store. Everything in the sale is now half price, and there are some great games in the promotion, such as Fat Princess and Pixeljunk Shooter.
A full list of titles included in the promotion, as well as their respective prices, can be found here.
