As we're about to pass the half year mark of this year and enter the month of July, we have an even slower week for new game releases than last week. This week's major release isn't very major, but it's at least from a space opera franchise that everyone will be familiar with, combined with a board game that everyone should also be familiar with. As for the rest of this week's new releases we have a game that involves maths and science, an old school text-based detective game, an early fourth of July game for our US readers, a classic top-down arcade shooter and finally a pixel art RPG with a twist.
