Delivering news, reviews, Gamer Diaries, and columns

Jun 8, 2014 08:19 GMT  ·  By

This week, the review team at Softpedia Games delivers long-form evaluations for the following video games: Murdered: Soul Suspect, which seems more quirky than solid, A Story about My Uncle, the Wealth of Nations expansion for Europa Universalis IV, Anomaly Defenders, and Speed Kills.

We also have a review of the Kingston made HyperX Cloud gaming headset, which offers solid value for the attached price.   Two Gamer Diaries are also offered, one dealing with the adventures we are experiencing in Watch Dogs, including hacking and multiplayer, and another about the new Wealth of Nations expansion for Europa Universalis IV.

Our two editorials talk about the huge expectations that are surrounding this year’s edition of the E3 trade show and about the new titles coming for the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4.

The Weekend Reading piece asks how many video games we can deal with before we become overloaded and no longer able to keep up with them.

We also have an EndWeekGame piece that details our plans for the free time of these two days, and we have a look at the most important pieces of news from the past seven days.
