- A Big, Black Box. The Xbox Series X’s name is perhaps more apt than any other entry in the Xbox line to date. Simply put, it's a big, black block that features sharp, right-angle corners and measures 12 by 6 by 6 inches (HWD).
- A New(ish) Controller. The new Xbox Wireless Controller included with the Xbox Series X isn’t much different from the one you get with the Xbox One systems.
- The Power Within. Inside the console is a Custom AMD Zen 2 CPU that features eight cores clocked at 3.87GHz. There's also a custom RDNA 2 GPU that contains 52 cores at 1.825GHz (for 12 teraflops of processing power), with raytracing support.
- User Interface. The Series X interface is nearly identical to the menu system currently used on Xbox One systems (which has been tweaked and refined multiple times since the Xbox One’s launch).

Let’s talk about the console design itself. It’s minimalist, yes, but bold. To my eye, it’s easily the best in Xbox history – when it’s standing vertically at least. On its side, it looks like a giant misplaced LEGO piece, and you can’t remove the vertical stand on the left side, which is awkward. But when stood tall, it’s big enough to confidently...
If you’ve owned an Xbox One, navigating your new Series X will be instantly familiar. I do realize that’s anticlimactic for a lot of folks; until now, when we’ve bought an expensive new-generation console we’ve gotten a totally new experience.

So far, the almost complete lack of any power-hungry next-gen-exclusive games to put those teraflops to a true test is the millstone around the Series X’s neck. Even with the aforementioned Forza Horizon 5 and Microsoft Flight Simulator, and Halo Infinite finally almost here, next to Sony's impressive output of first-party games Xbox still has a lo...

- Alan Wake 2. $49.99 at Epic Games. See It. The original Alan Wake was a decent enough shooter, but Alan Wake 2 is a mind-blowing, survival horror surprise. Drawing inspiration from Twin Peaks, public access talks shows, and previous games in the Remedy canon, the game is a playable hallucination.
- Dead Space. $42.19 at Amazon. See It. The Dead Space series got put on ice after devolving into mediocre action schlock, completely abandoning its horror roots.
- Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition. $46.99 at Amazon. See It. Devil May Cry innovated the character-action genre with its stylish blend of sword- and gun-based combat.
- Elden Ring. $49.99 at Amazon. See It. The “Souls” franchise has been a utterly singular force in gaming this past decade. No one else besides its developer, FromSoftware, makes games as mysterious, intricate, and punishing as Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro.
