Just off of the heels of E3 and the launch of the Sony PS3 exclusive, The Last of Us, this week unfortunately has no significant new game releases for the Xbox or PS3. That's good news for gamers on these consoles as it means that they can continue playing a couple of great games that released a few days ago. For PC and Wii U gamers, there are a couple of releases that may pique your interest.
PC
Neverwinter, Cryptic Studios (PC)
According to a recent article in Eurogamer.net, Neverwinter, a free to play MMORPG from Cryptic Studios, releases out of beta on June 20th. Neverwinter is sure to attract long time Dungeons and Dragons fans as it takes players to many beloved and besieged areas from the Forgotten Realms Campaign settings. Interested gamers can register here.

New Super Luigi U (Wii U)
If you own New Super Mario Bros U for the Wii U and either finished it or want more, this New Super Luigi U DLC gets you 80 new levels of jumping and dodging frustration. New Super Luigi U DLC drops on June 20th in the Nintendo eShop. Gamers who don't own New Super Mario Bros U can purchase a standalone version of New Super Luigi U on August 25th.

So Good, They Deserve a Second Look!
State of Decay (Xbox 360)
If you haven’t already downloaded State of Decay on Xbox Live, this week is probably a good week to do it. In State of Decay, you scour this sandbox of a game for resources, establish alliances with various factions, and assist survivors while trying to avoid permanent death with any one of your beloved characters. Yes, permanent death... something modern games no longer feature.

The Last of Us (PS3)
On the PS3 side, The Last of Us is another look at what the world would look like if a plague wiped out just about everyone in the world. Think Uncharted with zombie-like influences and a great story, limited resources, and did we mention a great story?!?!
