5 Underrated Games We’d Like To See On Microsoft Xbox One Via Backward Compatibility

The Xbox 360 had a vast library of games and despite its dodgy launch, it was a very successful console. The console had a long list of exclusives, some of whom were timed, like Mass Effect. However, it also had some hidden gems that many people fail to remember, or missed out on due to the lack of marketing done by their respective developer towards it.

With backwards compatibility announced for the Xbox One, it is now possible for fans to go back and revisit some of the classics they may have missed out on. Barring the popular games such as Red Dead Redemption, Call of Duty games and the Halo series, here’s a look at some hidden gems we’d like to see appear on the Xbox One’s ground breaking backward compatibility feature.

I'd add Blur to that list. I loved that game!!

Farmassy3200d ago

I think Shadowrun should be added to this list. One of my favorite FPS games ever made

Chuckieegg3200d ago

My favourite game of the 360 generation. That and lost odyssey

otherZinc3199d ago

Ninja Gaiden
Ninja Gaiden Black
Ninja Gaiden 2

Brute Force

Mass Effect 2
Mass Effect 3

Halo Wars

Those are the Backwards Compatible games I'd like.

DragoonsScaleLegends3200d ago

Lol Skate? That games overrated if anything.

Jmanzare3200d ago

No way the skate series is probably the best skateboarding games. More realistic and the controls are awesome.. And hall of meat never gets boring

Eterna1Ice3200d ago

I wonder if the author realizes that Kameo is already available via BC and with Rare Replay.

donthate3200d ago

As in, Kameo is available right now or will be?

I'm in the preview with BC, but don't own Kameo digitally or disc based. Wonder what other games are BC that I don't know about?

GearSkiN3200d ago

Vanquished needs a new one with 60fps

Jmanzare3200d ago

I never played the game I loved the demo and would love a remaster or bc

GearSkiN3199d ago

yea BC is fine with me a good sequal would be awesome!

BlackTar1873200d ago

Battlestation Midway please.

I know no one plays it but it may have been my favorite MP game last gen. I'm also aware i'm probably alone on that.

BlackTar1873200d ago

I preferred the large scale battles that midway had where you controlled the planes the boats and the subs all on one big game board.

I remember being upset that pacific didn't have that

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC32m ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer1h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

God DMC2 was an awful game.

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

ZeekQuattro6h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B4h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21834h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh3h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia3h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins4h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal3h ago

The first game was the best imo.

There's a reason they're called 'gods' and not 'regular people'. It's nice they've diversified even more but gods looking godly wasn't exactly a glaring issue with the first game.

Juancho517h ago

Hey! Gods suffer from obesity and diabetes too!

Blastoise7h ago

This is the dumbest article I've read in a long time.

Michiel19896h ago

No one had an issue with that besides a very select group of people that try to push their own agenda.

Crows906h ago

Exactly. Not even sure they're necessarily committing to body diversity either.

The designs look fine not stupid.

Inverno5h ago

The writer of the this article clearly doesn't know what a real god looks like and has never seen them /s

Tody_ZA5h ago

Thanks for bringing up a bunch of garbage thoughts that never crossed my mind when playing the first game because I was too busy playing the game to worry about the portrayal of the physical bodies of gods.

Foolish me, when I read the title I thought we were talking about game mechanics.

Piss off, honestly, with this asinine bottom of the barrel try-hard-to-be-relevant trash.
