Premier publisher of interactive entertainment software, D3Publisher of America, Inc. (D3PA), will begin to bring titles to gamers through Xbox LIVE Arcade later this year. Xbox LIVE Arcade on the Xbox 360 is the premier destination for digitally distributed, high definition original and classic games. The first three titles Xbox 360 owners can expect to see from D3PA on the service are Mad Tracks, a racing game that takes its inspiration from the pull-back-and-go toy cars of gamers' youth, RocketBowl, Xbox LIVE Arcade's first bowling game, which brings the fun of miniature golf to the bowling alley, and Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords, a downloadable version of the Nintendo DS and PSP (PlayStation Portable) system game which blends match-three puzzle gameplay with strategy, character-building elements and a persistent storyline set in the beloved Warlords universe.
RPG elements are everywhere! Lots of games add these extra features, creating surprisingly impressive hybrids.
Matt from FuzzyPixels presents a list of the top five puzzle games of all time, as well as handing out a couple of special awards.
ThisGenGaming says "The weekly backwards compatibility titles for Xbox One continues, which also means the weekly leak."
I don't care for these games, but it is nice seeing more titles regularly updated on Xbox BC.
Just to confirm there will be a Thursday update too. Possibly with bigger titles.
Where is Fable Anniversary? It's a Microsoft title so there should be no legal issues FFS.
I hate remasters or remakes..... but that would be only game I would love as a remaster... wish I had a game like that for this gen, pro and Scorpio of course...
Team ninja probably is looking at Nioh to fill in the gap, however I found it rather dull. I'm sure it has its place in the world, but so does speedy hack and slashing.
My system is backwards compatible all the way back to like 1977. That's cool though, at least you get something. (Not sarcasm, sony killing BC at least for PS2/PS1 games just so they can sell them back to you is inexcusable. Emulating the PS3 is hard because it was designed weird, so that's an understandable omission, granted one that was created by their short sightedness.)
Backwards compatibility is the reason why I'm keeping my Xbox One. I never owned a 360 so being able to play games like Alan Wake and Lost Odyssey (which I started today - finally!) is nice. It's the first time I've used the console since Quantum Break came out. I should have just bought a cheap 360 instead.
Exactly. Imagine if in early 2010, i.e. just shy over 3 years into PS3's life, the only thing you had to look forward to was the announcement of what 1 or 2 BC PS2 games were coming to the console, even though they released a version of the console with 1500 games supported at launch and nobody really cared.
Yeah people would have called it the most overated thing back then too.
Backwards compatibility is a great extra feature, but it isn't the only thing Xbox users have to look forward to by any stretch. Only most hardcore PlayStation fanboys call it overrated, and it's pretty clear you're part of that group.
It would have been awesome if PS3 kept BC after the first models.
Sad but true. Xbox one has nothing worth playing, what you can't already find on pc and ps4
Maybe people like playing those games you can find on the PS4/PC better on the Xbox one. There is plenty to play on Xbox.
Another idiot who can't grasp a huge number of us don't want to play on a bloody PC.
okay then
