Gaming Union writes, "Originally an American toy and cartoon series, Madballs isn't exactly a name that has stuck in the collective pop-culture mind. Despite this, Madballs has made its way to Xbox Live Arcade via Madballs in Babo: Invasion. Picking up the series, developer PlayBrains drops players into the role of a rather aggressive ball, an eyeball at first in fact. This eyeball sets out - guns blazing - in third-person perspective, blasting, smushing and blowing his way through hordes of simply-designed, yet unique, enemy Madballs. A strange tale ensues, but that's only to be expected considering the source material being worked with here."
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?"
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.
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."
Man, I remember them. I had the purple one!
Sounds pretty crazy...
