May had a great selection of big gaming releases including Battleborn, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, DOOM and my personal favourite Overwatch.
This month there’s another great selection of titles due for release. My pick of the month was going to be No Man’s Sky but that’s now delayed until August.
If you’re struggling to decide what to purchase in June or just not sure what’s coming out, don’t worry I’m here to lend a hand. I’ve picked my top 10 of the bigger releases that will be coming to console, handheld and PC during the month.
