Games to get in July

Sweet, sweet relief. We now enter month two of the summer gaming drought and, yeah, I'm still pleased as punch about it. My backlog is losing some weight and I no longer feel like I have to blaze through every single title just to keep up. While not stuffed to the gills, July does offer some sweet, sweet games for those who have managed to hang on to some of their 2010 gaming funds.

July
6th- Crackdown 2 (360)
6th- Persona 3 (PSP)
11th- Dragon Quest IX (DS)
27th- Star Craft II (PC)

I don't usually include PC, but when a title is as big as Star Craft II, I have to make an exception. All of Korea is literally going to shut down for a year after this one hits so, yeah, it's kind of a special case.

The PSP version of Persona 3 is sure to delight those who missed the PS2 original and there's always reason to cheer when a new Dragon Quest gets unleashed. Also, there's the follow-up to the 360 mega-hit, Crackdown 2.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I've still got games I purchased this time last year to get around to.
