Xbox Game Pass Gets Cool New Games for August
The Xbox Game Pass is a cool service that gives gamers who are subscribers to Xbox Live Gold some new games they can play for free each month. With August kicking off there are new games for the month for you to download and play. The games include Ryse: Son of Rome, Ruiner, Dead Rising 2, The Escapists: The Walking Dead, Dandara and Hitman: Season 1. For the younger crowd Kinect Rush: A Disney Pixar Adventure is available.
With the Kinect being basically defunct you might not even have a Kinect around to plug in anymore. Details are offered on the cooler and more popular games. I am most excited about Hitman Season 1. I love the Hitman franchise and have been playing it since the franchise started years ago. “Welcome to the World of Assassination. You are Agent 47, the worlds best assassin. As an agent of the International Contract Agency (ICA), you are tasked with taking out hard-to-reach, high-profile targets in exotic locations all around the world. Youll need to use your wits and creativity to find ways in eliminating your targets in densely detailed and intricate sandbox levels with complete freedom of approach. Where to go, when to strike, what to use, and how to kill is all up to you.”
Ruiner is a game that I dont recall hearing about before, its set in 2091 in a cyberpunk dystopia. The game description is “Its the brutal world of 2091. Ruiner immerses you in a cyberpunk dystopia, where you take on the role of a wired sociopath out to uncover the truth about the corrupt system and to retrieve his kidnapped brother. This brutal action shooter immerses you in Rengkok City, from its shady back-alleys to its towering corporate titans. Get ready to experience a game carved from the mold of the best cyberpunk anime.”
The other game that is a top-tier title is Ryse: Son of Rome developed by Crytek. “Ave! Join the legions of ancient Rome as Marius Titus, a centurion on the rise. Sword-and-sandals meets action combat as you battle with the unique flow system, allowing you to seamlessly weave your battle between enemies. Prepare to immerse yourself in this alternate history, where the battles you fight will determine the fate of an empire.”
