The highlight this week is the latest offering from Square Enix, Murdered: Soul Suspect. It's received a lot of mixed reviews, ranging from people that loved the story, immense gameplay, and characters to absolutely not finding the game fun at all. A roundup of lots of the reviews on this game will be posted later today.
Other stuff includes a side game in the Hyperdimension Neptunia series, a game that puts you as an idol producer to pull off concerts with incredible talent. For those that need a pet simulator (for some reason), PS Vita Pets is finally out for the same price it actually costs to adopt a dog or a cat.
In the free category, a free-to-play pilot combat simulator, War Thunder, is finally out in North America after being released in other parts of the world last November. Also, PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate is an absolute must pick up for PS+ owners that own either a PS4 or Vita. The combo package includes the first two shooters from the PS3.

Instant Game Collection
Beginning this month, more PlayStation 4 games will be free each month. Sony is giving away double the amount with Trine 2: Complete Story and PixelJunk Shooter Ultimate, both for the PS4.
NBA 2K14 is also free, although just for the PS3, in time for fans to get ready for the NBA Finals that begin on Thursday. Now you can take on anybody that's not the Miami Heat and beat LeBron James until he's flat on his ass and can't flop any longer.
Well, you can't really do that, but somebody should put out an NBA brawler pronto. If Shaq Fu can be remade, then that should happen too.
Special Note: Because more games are being offered for free, some of the long-standing free games on the PS+ IGC will be going away. All of the following games will no longer be free as of the store update next Tuesday: Skullgirls Encore, Stealth Inc., Lone Survivor: Director's Cut, Payday 2, and XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
Another Special Note: The free games being available all at once begins in July, not this month. However, the multiple free PS4 games begin now. Obviously.
Have a great week, everyone!
