"As it stands, this is a very enjoyable puzzle romp, and whilst the likes of Bejeweled and Super Puzzle Fighter exist, this serves to be a nice little add-on to the XBLA arcade series. Its well presented, albeit simple but thoroughly addictive. Its not time based either so there's no need to rush and if you think that 5 bombs and 1/3 a screen's worth of "slow down gas" constitutes loads, you'll soon change your mind. Well worth 800 points in my humble opinion."
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?"
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.
Hardcore Gamer: Poker Smash is not your typical Kickstarter project. Instead of funding the development of a new indie title or physical release of a game, it's attempting to bring a five year old XBLA game to PC. While that may seem like a tall order, it's also a backdoor Kickstarter of sorts to help fund development for Void Star Creations' upcoming title, Junction. We sat down with studio head Drew Card to talk all things Poker Smash, Kickstarter and find out more about their intriguing next game.
