This gang will live the summer of their lives in an adventure that will get them involved in a government conspiracy. Control five kids with special skills while fighting and solving puzzles.
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
Must- Crossing Souls is an amazing throwback to the 80s. With a great story and fun gameplay, Crossing Souls takes you back to the days you hung out in the arcade! The cut scenes take you back to Saturday morning cartoons and the music fits perfectly. Do not miss out on playing Crossing Souls!

The celebrated Mega Man X series returns!

Explore a huge museum filled with rare production art, catalogs of classic merchandise, a playlist of nostalgic commercials, and more.
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
Must- How can you say no to the Blue Bomber? If you have worked your way through the standard legacy collection, it's time to move into the X series, which will keep you busy until Mega Man 11 releases later this year.

No Man's Sky
Releasing on: Xbox One - 7/23
Available on: PS4, PC
No Man's Sky is a game about exploration and survival in an infinite procedurally generated universe.
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
Must- 2 years ago this was the Bust of all Busts, but over that time Hello Games has continued to work on No Man's Sky and now it finally is the game we all wanted. No Man's Sky NEXT drops the same day as the Xbox release and it's a free patch for all platforms, adding many new features, including multiplayer! I was very negative about this game at launch 2 years ago, but now is the time to revisit No Man's Sky; if you avoided it completely, now is the time to explore many worlds and enjoy this beautiful game with friends.
Banner Saga 3
Releasing on: Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC - 7/26
Banner Saga 3 is the final dramatic chapter in the mature, story-driven Viking RPG series which has won over 20 awards and has been nominated for 4 BAFTA awards.
Grimlock's Must or Bust:
Must- I have not played any of the Banner Saga games, but I have watched SpecterXV Banner Saga streams and I have really enjoyed them. As I have watched him play this game, I realize how I would handle situations differently than he has, now I wonder what the outcomes would be for me. Time to pick up this series and see what path I take on this crazy Viking journey.
Banner Saga Trilogy

Weave your own thread through this epic Viking RPG adventure with the Banner Saga Trilogy. Guide your caravan across the landscape of a breaking world, where the sun has stopped in the sky and the gods are dead. Bold leadership decisions, wise use of resources, and skillful battle tactics are vital to ensure that you and your clans make it through alive. Who can you trust, how will you protect your allies, and what choices will you make as the Darkness draws near?
