This year’s installment of “Duels of the Planeswalkers,” a somewhat streamlined version of the popular trading card game “Magic: the Gathering,” has arrived. A number of improvements have been made to the game’s formula, but its back-to-basics approach has become even more basic when compared to last year’s edition. While past games were able to feel like solid games in their own right, “Duels 2013″ actually feels like a marketing vehicle. Though it can still be enjoyable, especially when played with friends, the inclusion of blatant advertising and nickel-and-diming tactics similar to those in free-to-play games serve to frustrate and cheapen the experience.
Carlos writes "2017 was a great year for the Xbox Backwards Compatibility program with many of our favourite 360 games made playable on Xbox One. That said, there are still a ton of highly requested games yet to arrive in the program and with 2018 set to see even more added, it makes sense that the first of the years new additions are now being given the treatment. This past week has seen six new games made backwards compatible, but which ones are worth returning to once more?"
"Six new games arrive via Backwards Compatibility"
Does anyone not see the funny side to this statement? I do... lol
I love the Sniper elite series & V2 is a great game & as I still have my 360 copy I'm good to go. Great news & it's free for me too.
Games, escapism, and dealing with loss.
Examiner's David Leavitt writes: "A recent accident left me without the use of fingers in my right hand. An even more devastating consequence than the damage to my body was that done to my soul. I'd lost the most important person in my life. Marjorie was more than just a lover to me: She was my best friend, confidant, inspirational muse and other half."
Impulse Gamer - Well, another year has passed and another edition of Magic's Duels of the Planeswalkers franchise has appeared – a less tongue-twisting title is not among the updates and new additions. So what is new, you might ask? Well, the big news is the Sealed Mode... but we'll get to that. First, a rundown of Duels of the Planeswalkers (DotP from here on, to appease the gods of brevity) itself, and how it relates to the card game.
