July’s Game Releases!

---

We witnessed some great titles pass by last month, June, referring particularly to the likes of Prototype, The Sims 3 and Red Faction: Guerrilla. Well, as it is, another month brings more games to the table, so if you’re interested to see July’s highlights, then read on below, because hopefully it will also help you plan your monthly spending spree.

Note: The games listed here are not all games being released in July, but rather the more anticipated ones.
Note: eGamer’s “MA” (most anticipated) title for the month is the last game in the article.

eGamer’s MA title for July

There is no “MA” title this month…

You’d be right in thinking that July is a relatively quiet month as far as gaming is concerned. For PC owners this is a great time to pick up and play Street Fighter IV and Resident Evil 5, but for the rest of us there really isn’t anything to look forward to aside from the Fallout 3: Mothership Expansion, but that’s only for Fallout 3 players after all. Be sure to check in next month on the 1st of August for the full list of game releases.
