New Xbox Game Pass Titles Available Now, Including Devil May Cry 5

During the latest Inside Xbox, seven new titles were announced for Game Pass. All seven will be available via Xbox Game Pass Ultimate with six available via Xbox Game Pass and one available via the PC version of Xbox Game Pass.

If you only use Game Pass on Xbox One, you’ll be able to play Devil May Cry 5 and Stellaris starting today with Ape Out, Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Bard’s Tale IV: Directors’ Cut, and Blair Witch coming later in the month. Blair Witch will be available August 30, as it’s already been announced that the game will be coming to Game Pass on day one. On the PC version of Game Pass, Age of Empires: Definitive Edition is available starting today.

Of the games being added to Game Pass, both Devil May Cry 5 and Blair Witch are the two notable standouts. Devil May Cry 5 is one of our most highly rated action games of the year, while Blair Witch caught our attention at E3 2019 with its surprise announcement and spooky-looking, Outlast-like gameplay.

In GameSpot’s Devil May Cry 5 review, Matt Espineli wrote, “DMC5 thrives on the stylistic and mechanical prowess of its predecessors. It sticks to tradition above all else, pursuing a few ambitious new ideas along the way, but mostly maintaining the series’ focus on intricate fighting systems and campy bravado. Rarely does the game stumble, consistently leveraging its spectacle and mechanical depth to push aside any small frustrations. All the while, the story exudes a charismatic charm that keeps you constantly intrigued as you’re refining your skills. DMC5 proves the series can still be brilliant and imaginative without compromising its longest-held traditions.”

Alienware Goes Full Sci-Fi with its Newly Redesigned Aurora Gaming Desktop

Alienware is upgrading it compact Aurora gaming desktop with a new look and cutting-edge internals at Gamescom 2019.

On the outside, the Alienware Aurora is finally getting the same Legend industrial design that the Alienware Area 51m gaming laptop debuted. With the new design, the Alienware’s compact gaming PC looks more like a space pod form a future NASA space program rather than one from another planet. It comes sporting new hexagonal-shaped cutouts on the left side for ventilation, a sort of wind tunnel opening on the front, and alien-inspired characters etched onto the left side.

Alienware’s 55-inch 4K OLED Gaming Monitor Costs $4K

We’ve gotten our second look at Alienware’s 55-inch OLED gaming monitor at Gamescom 2019 and it looks just as gorgeous as it did last time, but now we can actually tell you it’ll arrive on September 30th for $3,999.

That’s very, very expensive, but it’s pretty much the only gaming monitor of its kind and size. There really aren’t any other OLED gaming monitors out there right now, so we don’t have much of a benchmark for what they should cost—but OLED 4K TVs do start at $1,599. With the Alienware 55 OLED technical being classified as a big-screen gaming monitor, the only display that’s close in size is the $4,999 HP Omen X Emperium 65.

Arrow’s Stephen Amell Will Play Pro Wrestler In New TV Drama

Stephen Amell says he’s done moonlighting as a professional wrestler, but he’s not quite finished with the wrestling industry. With The CW’s Arrow currently filming its eighth and final season, the star has already lined up his next project. He will play a small town wrestler in an upcoming Starz drama.

The news comes from TVLine, which reports Amell has signed on to star in Heels, an eight-episode series about a small-town wrestling persona. The current Green Arrow will play Jack, who is the main villain of a regional wrestling group in Georgia known as the Duffy Wrestling Association. When he’s not in the ring, Jack is the owner of the company, as well as a husband and father trying to make ends meet while keeping the DWA alive–and build it into a wrestling empire.

There are few other details about the project at this point. However, TVLine reveals the show will revolve around Jack and his brother, who are at war over the family-owned wrestling company and the legacy left by their late father.

Amell’s first foray into the wrestling industry came with a match at WWE SummerSlam in 2015. He followed that with a bout in Ring of Honor in 2017 and his final match at 2018’s All Out. The actor recently told GameSpot that chances of him getting back in the ring were incredibly slim. He’s still clearly interested in the industry though–and the friends he’s made in it. Already, Amell has asked All Elite Wrestling’s Cody Rhodes to join him on the series via Twitter. Rhodes previously appeared in multiple episodes of Arrow.

A premiere for Heels has not been announced at this point. Amell is currently filming the final episodes of Arrow, as well as the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover event.

Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse

Take the Corsair Harpoon RGB and snip the cord, jettison 2,000 DPI, and add $20 to the bill and you get the Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless Gaming Mouse (See it at Amazon). It is nearly identical to Corsair’s wired Harpoon RGB Pro mouse, but the wireless version uses an optical sensor with lower total DPI and costs $20 more for wireless freedom. The Harpoon RGB Wireless is also a few grams heavier because of the battery it must carry onboard. Otherwise, it’s an exact replica of the Harpoon RGB Pro. It’s a six-button, right-handed mouse with a single zone of RGB lighting.
