July seems to have an awfully slow start when it comes to new games. However, we got a few gems today. Carmageddon: Max Damage and Dex: Enhanced Version are out now on Xbox One. Carmageddon is well, Carmageddon. You go around racing and running over civilians. Dex is an interesting old-school role-playing game. Additionally, a bundle which contains racing games Grand Prix Rock ‘N Racing and Off Road DX is also available. Red Dead Redemption is also backward compatible now so you can play it on the next-generation console with your fancy Elite Controller. That’s what I’m doing. You can read the description of the new games below.
Carmageddon: Max Damage
Carmageddon: Max Damage is the driving sensation where your opponents are a bunch of crazies in a twisted mix of mad cars. Select from over thirty metal mangling vehicles designed for the job in hand: wrecking opponents, chasing down pedestrians and causing maximum chaos. Play one of three game modes, either rise through the Carmageddon ranks in Career mode, do what you like by unlocking Freeplay, or challenge the masses in Multiplayer–just remember it’s all about the carnage.
Create that carnage in a wide range of large open world environments and smaller battle arenas, with plenty of fun stuff to smash into, smash up, snap off and sling around. Explore city streets and country trails, arid deserts and icy wastelands. There are over ninety entertaining PowerUps that will help or hinder your game in hilarious ways. Carmageddon: Max Damage is the antidote to racing games.
Dex: Enhanced Version
Discover the truth behind an enigmatic AI striving to reach the Singularity, a theoretical event horizon in which artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence and all bets about the future will be off. How will you play your part in the story? Explore the futuristic city of Harbor Prime and meet its many inhabitants, answer the challenges the city has to offer, roam the neon-lit streets, and augment your character with skills and implants.
Designed as a tribute to the classic role-playing gams from the 1990s, updated for a modern audience, Dex invites you to become part of a living, breathing cyberpunk universe as you decide which ultimate path you will embrace.
