Last month, we were thankful that the torrent of games had slowed considerably. Now here in July, we ... well, could the games come back please? Sure we've got Dragon Quest IX and StarCraft 2, but pickings are, otherwise, fairly slim.
Maybe PSN and the Summer of Arcade will fill in the gaps? Here's hoping.

What is that space combat looking game?

@Okieace If you look at the gallery pics they have the game names under them.
But the game you're referring to is Darkstar One (360) - July 20

I'm actually glad pickings are so slim. Between the Live sale and the huge Steam summer sale, my bank account is gasping for breath right now.

Probably just Dragon Quest IX for me.

Same. Favourite series ever! I could go all summer without playing another game, and I probably would if it weren't for all the cool downloadables coming out.

Do you really need more than SC2 and DQ9? I mean really, come on

Most likely NCAA 11 for me. I bought PS+ for the year last week. That's really it for me for July.
Now next month is gonna be crazy for me!!!

I'll continue playing Mass Effect. 1.

DQIX needs to be in my DSi. I've never played a DQ game, but Nintendo Power has just hyped me up for it in their new issue. Also, I want Tournament of Legends, but maybe after a price drop. I wish HVS hadn't changed the graphics.

Wow Disciples 3. I remember playing Disciples 2 a lot I'll have to check out 3 sometime.

Wow, is this for real? Will the fabled Starcraft sequel finally arrive? It's like I'm in a dream.
