Out This Week on Xbox One: Tembo the Badass Elephant, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, and more!

Every week, new games are released for the Xbox One. Whether they are indie titles or AAA titles, we want to make sure they're on your radar. So get your wallet ready and clear some space on your hard drive. Let's take a look at what's coming out this week for Xbox One.

Tembo the Badass Elephant

If Rambo were an elephant

In Tembo the Badass Elephant, you play as Tembo who is on a mission to bring down the militia that threatens Shell City. You will play through 18 levels as you smash your way through enemies and take on each level's big boss.

Tembo can do things such as punch, put out fires with his trunk, and smash things with his body. Not only will you be fighting, but you'll be tasked with solving puzzles along the way as well. If you're not sold on this cartoon-esque adventure, maybe the fact that the developers of the game are those that made the Pokemon games on Game Boy will sell you on it. Tembo the Badass Elephant drops onto the Xbox One with Xbox Live Gold subscribers getting a 10% discount this week.

Tembo the Badass Elephant - $14.99

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth

Can you escape the basement

The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth is the remake of the 2011 classic of the same name. The game is a top-down dungeon crawler in which you play as Isaac as you make your way through your mother's basement.

The new version of the game features two new final bosses, 17 new normal bosses, and tons of new pickups and collectibles. The game also now features the ability to play couch co-op as well. The game is considered to be an instant classic and is well worth the purchase. It drops this Thursday July 23.

F1 2015

Start your engines

F1 2015 allows you to get closer to the Formula One action than ever before. This year's version features a completely new engine that was made just for next-gen consoles. The game also marks the first time that it has been released early in the racing calendar which allows the developers to give real-time updates on racers and their season.

Perhaps the game's biggest new feature this year is that it now features television styled presentation which makes you feel like you're a part of the action. That being said, as many people are excited about the game, the devs have been receiving lots of flack with as early reviewers found tons of bugs in the game that make the experience unenjoyable. And there's apparently no career mode, either.

If you still want to take a chance on it, F1 2015 releases July 22 for $59.99.

Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut

The blocks are your friends

Q.U.B.E. is a physics-based puzzler that originally launched on Windows back in 2011. The game is a result of a student project of three friends that decided to finish it after graduation.

At the start of the game, you awake to find that you have been fitted with a pair of gloves that can manipulate the world around you via blocks. The blocks can be found in the walls. ceilings, and floors surrounding you and each have their own unique purpose which is represented via colors. For example, red blocks can be extended or extracted while yellow blocks can be manipulated to look like stairs.

The new Director's Cut brings story elements, 10 new levels, and a new score to compliment the story. Q.U.B.E.: Director's Cut will be available July 22 for $9.99.
