The House of Soup is finally on vacation! One week of camping out at the lake and one week of putzing around the house. Re...lax...ation! I am going to the most exciting release of next week though - Windows 10! I have been playing with it for a few months now and if you were/are not fond of Win8 I think you will be happy with 10. I also plan on beginning my Mame cabinet build with “plan” being the operative word there. We’ll see what happens. Enough about me let’s get to the games of this week

Release Date: July 28th, 20115
Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4

Release Date: July 29th, 2015

Remember when Sierra Games was king of the gaming world? It was a long time ago but they rose to fame with games like Leisure Suit Larry, Police Quest, Space Quest and probably their most famous series - King’s Quest. Well thanks to gamer nostalgia King’s Quest is back!

Life is Strange - Episode 4

Release Date: July 28th, 2015
Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360,Xbox One

I had the opportunity to play about an hour of Life is Strange at E3. I wish I had days. It was an engaging story albeit a little slower than I normally like but it still held my attention. Those of you who have played the first 3 episodes can continue Max’s adventure this week in Episode 4.

10 years since it’s PlayStation 2 debut, Legend of Kay returns remastered and to a much broader range of platforms. I have some conflicting info on this as developer Nordic Games has it listed for the ones above but everywhere else says PlayStation, WiiU and PC only. I guess we’ll see on Tuesday!

A couple honorable mentions this week:

• N++ for PS4

• Lost Dimension for PS3 and Vita

• The Swindle On Tuesday for PS3, PS4, Vita, PC (28th) and Xbox One (31st)
