A new decade is upon us in a couple days. What better way to start it than with free games? For Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Gold subscribers, welcome 2020 with these four game titles at your disposal.

1. Styx: Shards of Darkness

(Originally $12.99)

Available January 1-31

Styx: Shards of Darkness is a game surrounding the concept of stealth. Take control as the goblin thief Styx and infiltrate and travel the Dark Elven city of Körangar to discover why the dark elves have formed an alliance with the dwarves.

2. Batman: The Telltale Series

(Originally $14.99)

Available January 16 to February 15

My personal favorite out of January's lineup is Batman The Telltale Series. Players take control of the Dark Knight himself and defend Gotham City from various threats. Be cautious: the choices you make in the game tailor the way the game is played, so choose wisely.

3. Tekken 6

(Originally $15.00)

Available January 1-15

Originally on the Xbox 360, Tekken 6 was a popular fighting game due to its ever-growing roster. Each of the characters have their own deadly techniques, martial arts moves, and attack combinations, all ready to assist you as you make your way through the ultimate king of iron tournament. If you haven't played a Tekken game before, this seems like the perfect place to start.

4. LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy

(Originally $6.49)

Available January 16-31

Take a trip through the Star Wars series but with the comedic effect of Legos added in and relive moments form the original Star Wars trilogy: Episodes IV, V, and VI. Customize your own LEGO character, solve various puzzles, and enjoy the game with a friend with its drop in and out function. A favorite game from my childhood, and If you haven't played it yet, I'd highly recommend it.

Taking full advantage of all these great free Xbox games seems like a great New Year's resolution to me!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
