With the exception of two Mature-rating games, the selection for this week of July 6 to 12 is one of pure wholesomeness. But don't think just because there won't be as much blood spilling and guns ablazin' you guys won't have the same amount of fun.

You can play detective as the classic character, Nancy Drew in The Phantom of Venice, or play God creating your own nimble empire in Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution. Code Lyoko on the PSP is also sure to give you a fill for that insatiable craving for adventure.

Still a tad too wholesome for you? Alright, alright. Have your dose of manly action with the PC release of Devil May Cry 4 on the PC, as well as...

Unreal Tournament III  - Heroism takes on two faces as you engage in battle against the Necris invasion both for the defense of humanity and for the revenge of the slaughter of your clan.

With over two dozen weapons and vehicles upgradeable, as well as multiple game modes (Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag, all-new Warfare mode among others), there's certainly reason for you not to enjoy this blastfest.
