Everything cool associated with summer has already happened: E3, Comic Con, Independance Day. Everything from now until fall is baking heat, sweaty people, and sunstroke. Good luck with that, amigo. Smart gamers have already faked their own deaths to avoid mowing the lawn, and for these crafty folks I give you the best of what's new this week: F1 racing, ninjas, and a badass elephant.

Become a ninja onion and reclaim your lost honor with your side dish, I mean sidekick, Broccoli Joe. This platformer has a kind of Ratchet and Clank meets Veggie Tales vibe to it.
