Games of June 2014

June 3^rd

Ultra Street Fighter IV [PS3, 360]-Console owners get their hands on the anticipated DLC expansion to Street Fighter IVthat adds in 5 more characters, red focus, delayed wakeup, new stages, new modes, and an entire rebalance of the existing cast. PC players or those wanting the game on disc will have to wait until August.





Wildstar [PC]-A new subscription based MMORPG launching in 2014 based off of an original IP, quite a surprise considering how that genre has mostly shifted to the free to play model. Wildstar is more than just WOW with spaceships and prettier graphics, and a more hands on combat system. You could always just wait for the inevitable switch over to F2P.





Murdered: Soul Suspect [PC, PS3, 360, PS4, Xbone]-A supernatural detective thriller which challenges players to solve possibly the hardest case of all- their own murder. When Ronan O Connor, a detective with a chequered past, gets caught up in a violent burglary, his life is brought to an untimely end by a brutal and relentless killer. Sooooo basically ghost cop the game.





June 6^th

Tomodachi Life [3DS]-You might have heard the internet uproar over this game the last month about Nintendo not altering the US version to allow same sex couples. If that kind of thing is important to you, this game isn't for you. Think of this game as basically the Nintendo version of The Sims.







June 13^th

Enemy Front [PC, PS3, 360]-Much like how it is surprising to see a new subscription based MMORPG in 2014, we're also getting a new World War 2 FPS. The catch for Enemy Front is open-ended levels to try to set them apart from the scripted events we all remember from the Call of Duty series. The game comes courtesy of CI Games, whose previous titles are all hovering around a 50 Metacritic score... but at least they're not charging full price for what will likely be a pretty mediocre game.



June 17^th

EA Sports UFC [PS4, Xbone]-The first UFC game under EA, although they did previous make a MMA title. Being a next gen only title they are going for pure realism in the visuals department... which is honestly hit or miss at times. Of course the big attraction here is being able to play as Bruce Lee, either by unlocking him in the game or by pre-order.





June 25^th

Valiant Hearts: The Great War [PC, PS3, 360, PS4, Xbone]-Following Child of Light as Ubisoft's other beautiful 2D game that takes advantage of their UbiArt engine. The game is based on real stories on multiple fronts from World War 1 and has all that love you feel from a small indie title, just developed under one of the largest publishers in the gaming industry.





June 27^th

GRID Autosport [PC, PS3, 360]-It’s all about the teams, the rivals and the race in an intense new world of professional motorsport. Racing alongside a teammate, you must overcome key rivals and satisfy team sponsors in ferocious races where every pass and position counts. A new take on the solid GRID racing series, if you own GRID 2, you get a 10% discount on PC.





Sniper Elite III [PC, PS3, 360, PS4, Xbone, WiiU]-Hopefully you got your free copy of Sniper Elite V2 earlier this week on Steam. Sniper Elite III takes place in the African theater of World War 2, a setting not often visited in video games. Also new to the game is the ability to play the entire campaign in co-op, allowing for tons of new gameplay possibilities. Of course the X-Ray kill cam also makes a return, with even more detail like exploding eyeballs.
