I guess with the July 4th Holiday being this week the folks at Xbox and the major game development studios knew not to release any big named games. Or I should say, they knew gamer’s beloveds would be dragging them away from their consoles to go on a vacation. The only semi-big –I guess, Xbox 360 release this week is Test Drive: Ferrari Racing Legends. Don’t worry though, there are a few XBLA games releasing too. Definitely check on Friday for my Xbox LIVE Indie Game Spotlight.
