Bastion is the lastest offering from Supergiant Games, coming to the Xbox Live Marketplace July 20th, 2011. This independent Action RPG drew me in straight away from the design style. The sharply designed anime art style, which from the trailer, can be both bright and vibrant and also dark and bold when it needs to be. Being an anime fan myself, I love it when a game can pull off that art style well, and in regards to lead character "The Kid", he can stand among other lead anime characters such as Naruto Uzumaki and Natsu with his spiky white hair and aggressive attack style. As the trailer takes us on the ride of showcasing the game, the narrator over the top (who would fit right at home in Red Dead Redemption and Gun), gives the viewer a bit of background about the story, and makes us ask questions about this "Calamity". Along with a distillery, shrines, kick ass gameplay snipets and a fitting soundtrack, the trailer leaves no hint of doubt that this "Best of E3" Arcade title will be worth the Microsoft Points with its release later this month.
