For those who are itching to play the newest offerings in their Xbox One consoles, here's a list of the freshest additions to the games roster.

The Evil Within. This is a horror video game that challenges players to scavenge for supplies and learn to fight in order to survive. Depending on the gamer's actions and choices, the game world can take on new paths, locations, and challenges.

The site says, "Purchase The Evil Within today to receive The Fighting Chance Pack which includes items, that when used correctly, will allow players to stave off death for a moment longer."

The game is rated as "Mature" and includes blood and gore, intense violence, and strong language.

Duck Dynasty. Based on the hit reality TV series of the same name, the game features three game modes, namely: main story; duck shooting galleries; and airboat racing. In the main story mode, players take on the role of John Luke, Willie's oldest son, who's out to learn the ways of becoming a full-fledged duckman. One is not only out to make duck calls and hunt ducks, they can also go "treasure" hunting, go airboat racing, and track down other vermin.

The game is rated as "Teen" and includes crude humor and mild violence.

The Walking Dead: The Complete First Season. This is a smorgasbord of blood and gore. Players get to be the convicted criminal Lee Everett, whose second chance at life means having to survive in a world ravaged by the undead, along with a band of other survivors.

This post-apocalyptic zombie-inspired role playing game is rated as "Mature" and includes blood and gore, drug reference, intense violence, sexual themes, and strong language.

Sleeping Dogs. In this game, players get to take on the role of Wai Shen, an undercover agent out to take down Hong Kong's notorious Triad.

As the game description says, "You'll have to prove yourself worthy as you fight your way up the organization, taking part in brutal criminal activities without blowing your cover. Destroy your opponents in brutal hand-to-hand combat using an unmatched martial arts system. Dominate Hong Kong's buzzing streets in thrilling illegal street races and tear it up in explosive firearms action."

The game is rated as "Mature" with blood and gore, intense violence, strong language, use of drugs, and sexual content.

Meanwhile, the titles now available for pre-order include "The Legend of Korra" set to roll out on Oct. 22, and "Halo: The Master Chief Collection," to be released on Nov. 11.
