June may be the month of E3, but it’s also the starting line for the gaming year to truly kung-fu chop its manual stick into top gear and start firing on all cylinders. No matter your taste, budget or platform, June is a reminder that video games are an all-encompassing force whose power could be harnessed to take over the world. I mean, let’s play some video games this month.

What if…what if hopping into a car was only the start of the terror that awaited you?

Ahh…it’s that time of the month were both Microsoft and Sony reveal the games that’ll be coming along to subscribers of their online services. As usual, Microsoft is first out of the gate, giving us a look at the selection of pseudo-freebies to come to Games with Gold. Well, at least they’ve revealed the games for Germany, which shouldn’t be too different from the one we’ll be getting.

Bigby and company are being given a little time to wait before returning to Telltale's stories again, as The Wolf Among Us 2 suffers a delay into 2019.
