The Quality Index champions the best space-based shooters available on iPad.
Carlos writes "This week sees six more titles given the Xbox One backwards compatibility feature, from well-known masterpieces to lesser known XBLA titles...but are they worth returning to or should you wait out for something better?"
Heard AC Rouge was really good though I never got a chance to play. Borderlands 2 being BC is kind of silly since you can buy 2 and the Pre-Sequel for like 15 bucks with all the DLC and 4 player local coop but it's free in March so that is certainly not a bad thing.
Also borderlands plays so much better in the remastered.
For the xbox 360, the menus are out of size for the screen (was for bl1) that you'd use the right analog to pan the screen so you can see what you're doing.
Honestly, they should remaster bl1. That along with the handsome jack collection, it's an amazing bundle of value.
I really enjoyed Rogue. Not a huge fan of BC and going back to old titles, but that's well worth a play.
I don't own an Xbox One but I do love that I can carry over a lot of my Xbox 360 games if I choose to get one!
Finally the day has come. I purchased Rogue quite a while ago hoping I could eventually play it on Xb1. I hope it was worth the wait.
Hardcore Droid - Darius-burst-sp-android-action -thumbFor as much as the shoot-‘em-up genre remains stubbornly old-school to the casual observer, it’s changed a lot since its ’80s and ’90s zenith. Where once we had a diverse array of side scrollers, vertical scrollers, precise methodical games, or crazy bullet-fests, now it’s largely settled on varying circles of “bullet hell” with clouds of pink and blue bullets and tiny ships. Dariusburst: Second Prologue proves to be a refreshing throwback to the classic side-scrollers that ruled the 8-bit and 16-bit eras, games like Lightening Force, Gradius, and of course the Darius games, with slow-scrolling levels, fast bullets, and epic boss battles.
Carl Williams writes, "Dariusburst was previously available on Playstation Portable (exclusive to Japan) and now, thanks to Taito, it is available on Android and iPhone. For those of you reading this that have never played a Darius game, aka Sagaia, you are in for a treat if you like a challenge. If not well, um, play something else. Darius has never really been at the forefront of side scrolling shooters but it certainly has kept a certain level of quality with each release- quite a feat. Now, Android and iPhone gamers will be able to enjoy Taito’s newest entry in the Darius brand."
