Final Fantasy X/X2 Remaster & Project Cars
Project CARS races onto consoles, Axiom Verge makes the leap to PC and Final Fantasy X / X-2 HD Remaster arrives for PS4.

Note: The prices and deals compiled below are accurate at the time we published this story, but all are subject to change.
Project CARS
Release Date: Tuesday, May 12, 2015
- See it on Amazon for $59.99 (PS4, Xbox One) or $49.99 (PC)
From our Review:Project CARS isn’t for everybody. It’s a serious, deep, and demanding racing simulation for people who like their motorsport pure. There’s no pop punk soundtrack, or explosive takedowns, or generous rewinds. Developer Slightly Mad Studios set out to capture the experience of manhandling a real racing car around a long list of some of the world’s most famous racing circuits, and has thoroughly succeeded. Tough but satisfying and cruel but fair, Project CARS is a truly fantastic racing game with the potential to become a real force in the genre.
It is, however, for anybody – and this is an important distinction.

Axiom Verge – PC Version
Release Date: Thursday, May 14, 2015
- See it on Steam for $19.99 (PC)
From our Review of the PS4 Version: Axiom Verge takes the adage “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery” and has it emblazoned across every moment of its 10-hour campaign. This 2D sidescroller pulls in most of the things that made Metroid such a classic experience: great weapons, interesting abilities, and a fantastic sense of progression. But where Nintendo’s classic presents a memorable setting with an evocative atmosphere, Axiom Verge’s world failed to leave a lasting impression on me.
