The 15 Hottest Games of Summer
From the much-anticipated Spore to the newest Guitar Hero to shoot-'em-ups galore, here are our recommendations for the games you've got to play this summer.

Hei$t -- Delayed Until October 21 [updated]
The Scoop: Hei$t; By: inXile Entertainment; From: Codemasters; For: PC, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360; Rating: Pending; ETA: August 1
Info: Play as a group of wisecracking bank robbers who launch grand-scale robberies around San Francisco circa 1969.
Matt: "All right, everybody be cool, this is a robbery!" Err, wrong shtick, but right off the block, Hei$t kind of sounds like the Tarantino film that line comes from, right down to the pimptastic '70s funk tunes and robbers in giant-size Ray-Bans. Think Rainbow Six meets Pulp Fiction, and you have a handle on this plan-a-string-of-robberies tactical action game with attitude by the guys who gave us the mostly likable 2004 snark-fest The Bard's Tale.
Darren: I am a complete sucker for any sort of heist flick--especially one trying to capture the flavor of everything between The Hot Rock and Dog Day Afternoon, so when you tell me that it's appearing in game form, I'll reach for the sky.
