This Week in Gaming (Week 26)

As we enter the last week of June and head towards darkness again in the Northern Hemisphere (remember, it's only six months until Christmas), we can look forward to another slow week of new releases. This week's major release is a remake of a puzzle adventure game from 1997. There's also a strategy game DLC, a shootout, a time travel adventure, some racing and some chasing to look forward to, if that's your kind of thing.

I will be putting the Riven remake on my list but the $35 price is not what I'm willing to pay so I'll wait.

That looked good until they showed the game-play in the video.. Still, I know people who love these type of games and the graphics do look good.

Pass! No offense to you, but frog orgy's are not my jam. I'm a kinky mofo, but I gotta draw the line somewhere..

Riven! I played the demo and it wasn't a slide-show like the original. So yeah, I'll wreck (rack?) my brain playing this. :D
