I was excited for a story driven adventure game but then I saw it was from Squenix. Its it's free for a limited time so I guess I’ll give it shot.  It’s a spin off from Life is Strange and choices can affect game play in Life is Strange 2 (due out this fall).  Anyone play the original Life is Strange?

Platforms: PC, NS, XBOne

Wait didn’t I already write about this?!  Crash was a Sony exclusive last June but a year later he’s headed to other platforms.  Get it? It’s a platform game!

 

The Crew 2

Release Date: June 29, 2018

Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOne

The graphics on this one look pretty freaking sweet! You race in cars, bikes, boats, and planes and take a tour of the USA. Also I should probably switch to racing games instead of IRL since I got $150 speeding ticket on the mean streets of Maine in my Charger this weekend.  “But officer it's a Charger” apparently does not work in Maine. :/
