XBLA: IGN Preview Rocket Bowl, Game Coming In September

Despite the game essentially being done back when Team Xbox previewed, publisher D3 have finally gotten a firm release date for Rocket Bowl on Xbox Live Arcade - September.

In the future bowling balls will, in all likelihood, be powered by rockets, and RocketBowl takes full advantage of that technology. Rocket-powered balls can boost, jump and turn in mid-air to help players knock down the pins in the 10 courses available in the game. In addition to a traditional bowling alley, RocketBowl features 9 zany courses filled with ramps, tunnels, loops, hills, curves and more.

This will be D3's first release since last year's Puzzle Quest, and they will also be releasing Galactrix some time next year. Read the whole preview below.

So are a LOT of things. Frogger 2 was up on there for a good six month, but that didn't allow anyone to talk about it. Not that they wanted to :)
