We’re closing out June with a bang! While the overall list may not be as long as we have seen over the past few months, there are quite a few big names hitting stores. Leading the charge is the latest LEGO game which just happens to take on one of the biggest films we’ve seen in the past year: Star Wars- The Force Awakens. This is going to be a re-telling of the film from a hilarious, LEGO-fied perspective. It looks like this one will have quite a few gameplay additions to the formula as well which should go a long way to overcoming the monotony that has been haunting this franchise.

If Star Wars and / or LEGO isn’t your thing, perhaps the return of the sci-fi RPG franchise Star Ocean on the PS4 will catch your interest. This is the fifth chapter in the franchise and it was created by the same development team that has done the other four. Fans will surely love what is in store for them with this game.

The rogue contender this week, at least for me, is 7 Days to Die. I will fully admit that the zombie / survival genre has more than run its course but this one intrigues me. I love the concept of scavenging and building during the day in order to prepare for the long, deadly night. The pre-release version that is already available on Steam has definitely offered me a bit of entertainment when it comes to watching gameplay streams, so I think I am going to have to check this one out.
