As we enter the second to last week of July, we have a week full of mid-range game releases. We kick off the week with some dinosaur action in this week’s biggest release, where you get to take on the role as a Spinosaurus with a sword. We kick out the Monday blues with a space RTS/RPG, followed by a trip to feudal Japan and samurais and then a quick switch to Scotland for another fight for power. We round off the week with an anime-style RPG and finally a co-op game could see you getting egg on your face. We also have some other new releases this week that might be worth checking out.
