Tanks and Transformers – games you can play this week

There is a decent batch of games on offer this week, with Sniper Elite 3, a new Transformers game, the (in my opinion beautiful) Valiant Hearts, and a whole lot more.

Here are the games you can play this week.

Sniper Elite 3

Sniper Elite 3 releases for the PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on 27 June 2014.

The shooter sees players sneaking through North Africa during World War 2, killing Nazis, sabotaging German encampments, and even taking on the mighty tanks commanded by the Desert Fox.

The game’s developers have promised expansive, open environments, randomised target identities, and that no two play-throughs will be the same.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark releases for PC on 24 June 2014, while the PS3, PS4, and Xbox 360 versions become available on 27 June.

If you are wondering what another sequel can bring to the table, the game’s developers have promised 40 controllable characters, Autobots and Decepticons included, and the addition of Grimlock the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Valiant Hearts: The Great War

Valiant Hearts: The Great War is available for PC, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PS4 from 25 June 2014.

The game is a puzzle-adventurer developed by Ubisoft and was inspired by letters written during World War 1. The story centres around four strangers who enter the battlefield with the hope of not only surviving, but helping a young soldier find his love.
