AG reports:
''When the Xbox 360 launched back in November of 2005, the lineup of launch games wasn't exactly stellar. Sure, retail titles like Call of Duty 2 and Condemned saw both critical acclaim and good sales results eventually, but that first day we turned on our 360s, there just wasn't a whole lot to be excited about at the time. But for me, one of the best games in those first few days of playing my first HD console was Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved, a $5 Xbox Live Arcade title from Project Gotham Racing developers Bizarre Creations. And now, almost three years later, the first real sequel is out. The wait's been worth it.
Evolved 2 adds five new gameplay modes (on top of the original "Evolved" mode) and local multiplayer action to this incredibly addictive and simplistic shooter, along with sharper graphics, new enemies to deal with, and new music for each of the gameplay modes. The basic formula is still the same: you've got a tiny ship and use the left analog stick to move in any direction while firing any other direction with the right analog stick.''
Carlos "April proved to be a fantastic month for backwards compatible arrivals, with some of the most requested Xbox 360 games finally being made playable on Xbox One, all through the power of emulation. A new month means more titles and this week sees the first of May's BC titles bringing a double whammy for one popular series amongst the masses this week. Are they worth taking a look at?"
Loved these games! It's nice having these just added to my Xbox one library over time. Always have something to do even during game launch droughts.
Daayum, they are killing it with X1 BC support. Now just show me some nice exclusives at E3 and I'll have no complaints.
I,bought some side scrolling Ninja game back in the day on XBL on 360 but I can't remember the name of it. It was fun as Hell! It was cell shaded and pretty violent. I wish they would bring that to BC. Anyone remember the name of that game?
Two good guesses. I'm leaning towards Mark of the Ninja. N+ was only a single room you had to solve and MotN was a true side scroller. Both were violent as shit though.
