September 1st Xbox One – Hitman The Complete First Season 

First up this month on September 1st for the Xbox One, jump into the intense action-packed world of legendary assassin Agent 47 in Hitman The Complete First Season. Hitman is basically what it says on the tin, with you traveling to gorgeous and exotic locations hunting down high profile targets in some seriously cool ways. The game is broken down episodically, almost making it fell like a streaming series rather than a continuous narrative and the complete first season includes all extra challenges and contracts. Where Hitman excels is its re-playability with each target having various bonuses challenges to complete and a list as long as your arm of different ways to take them out. You’ll be jumping straight back in as soon as you’ve finished, to find new ways to silence your targets. Hitman is a must-play for fans of stealth shooters, and getting all the extra challenges in the complete first season is a nice added extra.

Hitman The Complete First Season has a Metacritic score of 84 with a user score of 7.8 and you can check out the trailer below:

September 1st Xbox 360 – Earth Defence Force 2025

September 16th Xbox One – We Were Here

Available on the Xbox One for September 16th we have the co-op puzzler We Were Here. Team up with a friend or a stranger online and work together to escape an old castle filled with traps and challenges. You and your friend are trapped in different parts of the castle with only a walkie talkie to help you communicate. You must work together to help each other solve your respective puzzles and progress through the castle to your freedom. We Were Here sounds like a pretty interesting game for those of us who like a good puzzle and it could lead to some good laughs with a friend, or maybe a few arguments. Will you be giving it a try?

We Were Here is a little sparse on Metacritic reviews on Xbox seen as it hasn’t released yet, but over on PC, it has a respectable user score of 7.6. Heres the trailer:

Some of the most infamous fighters in gaming history are returning to battle it out once again. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 allows you to choose between a huge roster fo famous fighters allowing them to, as you’ve probably guessed, tag team in during matches. Tekken is a pretty standard fighter, with solid core gameplay plenty of combos to master and a roster of wonderfully wacky characters.
