Buy, Try, Die: July 2014

July. Reserved as the month after E3 when all of the PR reps have a nice vacation. But in the vacuum of triple-A releases comes a deluge of indie titles ready to release on Steam and several remakes.

On the reboot side, we have the Super Turbo Championship Edition installment for Guacamelee! releasing today, a new adaptation of Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee in New 'n' Tasty in mid-July, and The Last of Us Remastered for PS4 late on July 29 which I hesitate to purchase and replay, but may just out of respect of the game. I also can't forget Saints Row IV: National Treasure Edition which includes all of the DLC for Saints Row.

Otherwise, there are about twenty Steam titles releasing this month, which should be a godsend for our indie aficionado, Gil Almogi. Ryan Bates is also excited for Wayward Manor by Neil Gaiman.
