"The competitive modes even go so far as to sprinkle power-ups into the mix - collecting a floating star can temporarily beef up your weapon, or attract all on-screen Geoms to your ship, or freeze your opponents in place. Players can't shoot eachother, but the mad scramble for Geoms and points is plenty of fun, with quick on-screen prompts signalling who has taken the lead. Also, since the game is solely based on score, if the player in the lead loses all lives before the others, the game turns into a "bottom of the ninth" bid for survival for the remaining players, who need only exceed the top score in order to emerge victorious."
"Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 is a masterpiece of twitchy arcade madness. The controls are still dead-on, the gameplay is twice as frantic, and there's enough game modes for competitive shmup fans to stay at eachother's throats for hours on end. I fully recommend an immediate purchase."
Carlos "April proved to be a fantastic month for backwards compatible arrivals, with some of the most requested Xbox 360 games finally being made playable on Xbox One, all through the power of emulation. A new month means more titles and this week sees the first of May's BC titles bringing a double whammy for one popular series amongst the masses this week. Are they worth taking a look at?"
Loved these games! It's nice having these just added to my Xbox one library over time. Always have something to do even during game launch droughts.
Daayum, they are killing it with X1 BC support. Now just show me some nice exclusives at E3 and I'll have no complaints.
I,bought some side scrolling Ninja game back in the day on XBL on 360 but I can't remember the name of it. It was fun as Hell! It was cell shaded and pretty violent. I wish they would bring that to BC. Anyone remember the name of that game?
Two good guesses. I'm leaning towards Mark of the Ninja. N+ was only a single room you had to solve and MotN was a true side scroller. Both were violent as shit though.
