Backgammon Blitz (PlayStation 4) Review - Push Square

Push Square: "Backgammon Blitz isn’t going to steal away any Game of the Year awards, but it’s a faithful recreation of a quintessential board game that should prove enjoyable to newcomers and enthusiasts alike. The superior graphics of the PS4 version make it the better option, though the portability of the Vita is recommended for more long-winded battles of will. Given the success that VooFoo found with its Pure Chess franchise, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the future of board games no longer exists on a board."

This is okay, but I would much rather have a poker game similar to High Stakes: Vegas Strip. Either that or just bring PS@Home to PS4

Backgammon Blitz Review | GameSpew

Jamie at GameSpew writes: "1,500 years ago if you wanted to play backgammon you’d actually be playing tabula and you’d need to get yourself a board, an opponent and a comfy spot somewhere in the Byzantine empire to settle down and enjoy a few rounds. 40-odd years ago you could play against a decent computer AI if you had a spare room or two to fit the mainframe computer in. Ten or so years ago you could play against other humans, remotely, for the first time online (on a server which, incredibly, you can still play on today – check it out here!). Now, though, you can do all of that with Backgammon Blitz on Steam – and you won’t need a converted bed-sheet toga to do it in."

Review - Backgammon Blitz | TerminalGamer

One of the oldest board games known to man has arrived for the PS4 in Europe and is slated to hit the North American PSN store this Tuesday (April 15th). We rattled the dice and took a few turns on the board. Is it worth the pain of a pinched nip or is it better left to the ages?

ftwrthtx4042d ago

IDK about GOTY for 2014 but it may have won back in 5000 B.C.

We could always use more PS1/PS2 Classics. Any word yet on Megaman?

Skate-AK4044d ago

Forgot about TMNT. Might have to get that.

Clown_Syndr0me4044d ago

Why aren't the ps1 classics available on the PS4? There are loads on PS3 :(

Lazyeye794043d ago

I believe the reason is because all PS3s are backwards compatible with PS1, while the PS4 is not.
