GameSpot: Madballs in Babo: Invasion Review

There is an interesting strategic element to all the action in Madballs in Babo: Invasion, and this extra bit of depth goes a long way. The core action is twitchy and fast-paced, but if you aren't taking full advantage of your arsenal, you don't stand much of a chance. It's fun to get into the flow of combat, and even the occasional lag issues can't derail the excitement of multiplayer matches. Unfortunately, the visual lurching issue can. Both single- and multiplayer matches suffer this problem that affects different systems to different degrees. How this happens is unclear, and whether or not it will happen to you is unpredictable.

If you do suffer this problem, you're in for a frustrating experience. However, it seems that in most cases, these issues weren't too bad, making the $10 gamble less risky. For those who enjoy hectic shooter action, Madballs' fun multiplayer and sizable campaign make it worth a shot.

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.

Effects2596d ago

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

EnsignHiro2594d 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.

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.

Lighter92596d ago

Everyone knows you all can't take jokes well.

I'm playing that too but that doesn't mean I'm not happy about my favorite fighting game being playable on xbox one.

Kiwi662596d ago (Edited 2596d ago )

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

Nu2596d ago (Edited 2596d ago )

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

Top Ten XBLA Hidden Gems

Dealspwn rounds up ten brilliant XBLA games that you probably haven't heard of.

Dealspwn: "The Xbox Live Marketplace has gone from strength to strength over the last few years, becoming nothing less than the Xbox 360's unique selling point. It's the ultimate equaliser and a source of innovation that frequently puts retail releases to shame - but the only flaw is that it's easy for XBLA games to go unnoticed without even making a splash.

So here are ten of the games that fell through the media cracks, that languish near the bottom of the best selling lists yet provide plenty of bang for your buck."
