Splatoon 2

Splatoon 2 for the Nintendo Switch is being released July 21, 2017. Splatoon 2 picks up where the last one left off. It is a third-person shooter game, but you shoot paint instead of bullets. In the game, your character can transform into a squid that slides through any painted surface and the matches are won based on which team can paint the most of the level their team’s color. It’s expected to be a big hit this summer.

Dirt 4

Dirt 4 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC is being released June 2017. For fans of off-road rally racing, the entire Dirt series is a great choice.
