Xbox Live Deal of the Week: Three XBLA games for 50% off and one Indie Game

The Xbox Live Deal of the Week typically only features one game and may occasionally go as high as two. Microsoft must have gone a little crazy this week because they have put three games on sale this week for 50% off and one Indie Game on sale for 66% off. All four games allow gamers to use their Xbox 360 Avatar in the game.

6 more titles drop in with Xbox One Backwards Compatibility – Are they worth the return?

Carlos "April proved to be a fantastic month for backwards compatible arrivals, with some of the most requested Xbox 360 games finally being made playable on Xbox One, all through the power of emulation. A new month means more titles and this week sees the first of May's BC titles bringing a double whammy for one popular series amongst the masses this week. Are they worth taking a look at?"

Ah how I love Geo Wars. This reminds me to go play it!

Notellin2547d ago

Loved these games! It's nice having these just added to my Xbox one library over time. Always have something to do even during game launch droughts.

4Sh0w2547d ago (Edited 2547d ago )

Daayum, they are killing it with X1 BC support. Now just show me some nice exclusives at E3 and I'll have no complaints.

BLKxSEPTEMBER2547d ago

I,bought some side scrolling Ninja game back in the day on XBL on 360 but I can't remember the name of it. It was fun as Hell! It was cell shaded and pretty violent. I wish they would bring that to BC. Anyone remember the name of that game?

Auron2547d ago

Was it N+ or mark of the ninja?

DaFeelz2547d ago

Two good guesses. I'm leaning towards Mark of the Ninja. N+ was only a single room you had to solve and MotN was a true side scroller. Both were violent as shit though.

DaFeelz2547d ago

*sigh* Dragons Dogma... where for art thou?

Street Fighter IV, Luxor 2 and more arrive via Xbox Back Comp – Are they worth the return?

Carlos writes "It’s been a while since we last had any new Xbox One backwards compatible titles to cast our nostalgic minds back to once more, and in the few weeks since the last arrivals, releases in general have been a lot quieter than usual. But that all looks set to change with several new games hitting the store all in one go, and today seeing some fresh faces to the backwards compatible library too.

The thing is, are they worth the return or should they simply remain as nothing more than a memory forever more?"

Four More Games Added To Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Program

Microsoft has announced the latest additions to the Xbox One's backwards compatibility catalog. Arriving today are four Xbox 360 games: Street Fighter IV, Luxor 2, Madballs in Babo: Invasion, and Poker Smash.

Effects2597d ago

SFIV and SSFIV are considered different games right? Need to know whether I should be happy or not.

EnsignHiro2595d ago

Yes they are different. Sf iv is the very first iteration while super is second and has balance changes as well as new chars, aditional ultra for each character, new stages /modes and of course different arcade mode stories for each character.

TheCommentator2597d ago

Finally, Madballs in Babo: Invasion!!!

I honestly didn't even know it was a game. Hell, I still don't even know what it's about, but the idea of having to Invade Babo with Madballs popped into my head and it just doesn't sound right at all anymore...

Shadow Man2597d ago

Still waiting for silent hill HD collection ...

xMANB3ARP1G2597d ago

lol still waiting for a patch on xbox 360 for that one first so good luck. would be cool.

Lighter92597d ago

Lol. I'm going to go play Zelda and Horizon. Thanks anyway though.

jokerisalive2597d ago

That's why you dropped your troll comment about two games we don't really care about in an Xbox related article.....they have NOTHING to do with Xbox BC.

Lighter92597d ago

Everyone knows you all can't take jokes well.

DeadManMMX2597d ago

I'm playing that too but that doesn't mean I'm not happy about my favorite fighting game being playable on xbox one.

Kiwi662597d ago (Edited 2597d ago )

And yet no one cares given how this is about BC on Xbox One

Nu2596d ago (Edited 2596d ago )

I have access to Zelda but please don't be instigating the console war.
I'll be downloading SFIV asap.
