The month of July is finally upon us, following a hectic few weeks packed with triple-A releases, indie gems, and E3 announcements. While the later half of the July marks the release of some highly anticipated titles, this month commences with a relatively dry line-up. Starting off this week is the physical re-release of automotive-soccer title, Rocket League, which comes bundled with exclusive goodies and in-game bonuses. Continuing the trend of car misuse, Carmageddon: Max Damage also races onto the Xbox One this Friday, promising intense vehicular battles across a range of arenas.
