Well, that may have been one of the worst weeks ever for personal reasons – but it also wasn't that exciting from a PlayStation perspective either. With the thrill of E3 2015 right around the corner, publishers are currently pretty tight lipped about all of their upcoming projects. Of course, this means that leaks are inevitable. Any minute now, folks...

The Escapists - 6/10
The Escapists is excellent at what it does, there's no doubt about that, and it's cornered a market that nobody else dares to touch. It's generous with content, it's deep, and, at times, it's extremely satisfying. Still, it can be very tedious, and as such, unless you're actually in prison and have time to kill, there are probably better ways to spend your limited gaming hours. If the premise intrigues you then by all means give it a go – otherwise, you may want to refrain from spending your time behind bars.
Game of Thrones: Episode 4 - Sons of Winter - 7/10
Game of Thrones: Episode 4 - Sons of Winter doesn't hit quite the same highs as its immediate predecessor – but it's likely to prove the most impactful instalment to date. The decisions made this time around reek of future importance, and the impending doom for House Forrester seems closer than ever before – even if the overall story's pace has, once again, slowed just a tad.

Feature: What Are June 2015's Free PlayStation Plus Games?
It's been a particularly testing week for yours truly, so you won't find this scribe complaining about June 2015's roster of free PlayStation Plus software. That said, the frustration does seem somewhat muted all around the web – primarily because this is the best Instant Game Collection update that we've seen for a while. The titles will be yours to download from 2nd June in North America and 3rd June in Europe, although Sony's rolled out some PlayStation Store update changes of late, so don't be surprised if they deploy a day earlier in the Old World.

These Witcher 3 Glitches are Bloody Horrific
We've seen some pretty dumb glitches during our time with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, but nothing particularly nefarious. The same can't be said for often hilarious YouTube user Tyrannicon, however, who's put together a short video of non-playable characters and their long, melted faces.
