Happy Monday, everyone! It’s a new week and in the world of Xbox Game Pass, that usually means new games. This week (November 29 – December 3), Xbox Game Pass is adding two new games to the library.

Evil Genius 2: World Domination is set to make its console debut on November 30 and on Xbox Game Pass, we’ll be getting the Deluxe Edition. Evil Genius 2: World Domination is a satirical spy-fi lair builder with real-time strategy and simulation gameplay mechanics. As the Evil Genius, you must see through your plans for world domination, secretly constructing a unique evil lair to house your Doomsday Device, while masking it from the world by operating as a casino.

Evil Genius 2 is a rather robust strategy builder, offering multiple Evil Genius characters to choose from, each with their own unique missions, specialties and doomsday devices. There are also three different islands to construct your base on which also offer various obstacles and challenges to overcome.

The Deluxe Edition of Evil Genius 2: World Domination comes with the base game, the pre-order pack (Aurora Borealis, Fountain of Youth and Trojan Horse), and the Season Pass. The Season Pass promises a new Genius, Campaign, Henchmen, Island Lair Location and more.

Also coming to Xbox Game Pass on November 30 is Mind Scanners, an intriguing sci-fi simulation role-playing game in which you play as a psychiatrist and diagnose the citizens of a dystopian metropolis. The gameplay and graphics actually remind me of how an 80’s movie would envision futuristic treatment.

This is the first time I heard about this game, but it definitely looks like a fun way to kill a few hours. It sounds like there may be some more depth to it than what first appears as you must manage your time and resources “to keep The Structure in balance.”

Next. Xbox Series S is this holiday season’s hottest console and for good reason. dark

That’s all that’s free on Xbox Game Pass this week, but new games coming to Xbox include MXGP 2021 (Nov. 30), Oddworld: Soulstorm Enhanced Edition (Nov. 30), Rubber Bandits (Dec. 2), The Walking Zombie 2 (Dec. 2), Warhammer 40,000: Battlesector (Dec. 2), Chorus (Dec. 3), Grim Dawn: Definitive Edition (Dec. 3), Happy’s Humble Burger Farm (Dec. 3) and Justice Chronicles (Dec. 3).
