Darkzero: Poker Smash Review

Darkzero writes:

"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."

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.

Effects2614d ago

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

EnsignHiro2612d 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.

TheCommentator2614d 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...

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.

Lighter92614d ago

Everyone knows you all can't take jokes well.

DeadManMMX2614d 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.

Kiwi662614d ago (Edited 2614d ago )

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

Nu2614d ago (Edited 2614d ago )

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

Poker Smash Developer Talks Frustrations of Kickstarter, Next Project 'Junction'

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.
