Gaming Age - I was a pretty big fan of what Capcom did with Dead Rising: Case Zero, as was evident by the review I did for the game on its release. I'm not quite as big a fan of this release though, as Case West rocketed on to XBLA last week, and I think it's a bit of a letdown overall. There's some huge appeal in being able to play as Frank West, the main character from the original Dead Rising, but the story is really simple, straightforward, and actually kind of bland.
Carlos writes "Today adds more value to the Xbox Backward Compatible scheme, with four new arrivals making their way to Xbox One. But whilst we’ve seen our fair share of titles arriving on the program, not all have been the triple-A blockbusters that fans have craved the return of. So, with that in mind, here’s our thoughts on the latest backwards compatibility titles and if they are worth the return."
Full appreciate the frequency of new BC titles, but surely I'm not the only one who doesn't ever use them? I've got tons of native XO games to play rather than going back over the old stuff.
According to the Xbox Backwards Compatible uservoice completed page a number of titles have been marked as completed which traditionally is used for already announced or just releasing games. This includes some Dead Rising Spin-offs and Disney games.
I am sure the Xbox BC games are not taking away from new IPs, and I am sure MS can walk and chew gum at the same time. I am hoping the Ninja Gaiden games get added to BC, as I have 100s of 360 games and I am enjoying continuing many of them on the X1S.
Carlos Writes "With Dead Rising 4 now out the door, and our playthrough finalised, we decided to take a look to see how it stacks up with the rest of the series entries. So here we are...ranking the full Dead Rising series from god damn worst, right up to the best zombie bashing offering that we've ever seen."
I played the first, and I bought #4. Other than that, strangely haven't played any of the others. I'll get round to it one day though I guess.
