Michael A from TheBitBag writes, "There are only two spy/espionage game series that have garnered my respect and time. One is Syphon Filter (Come on Sony, make a PS3 version already!!!). The other is Ubisoft's Splinter Cell. I remember playing the first game back on the original Xbox and being blown away. It was everything I wanted out of a spy/espionage game that had never been available. It focused more on the realism in its presentation and gameplay dynamics than a silly, illogical story line. I have been hooked ever since. I have played every Splinter Cell game on major consoles. In the past, Splinter Cell has been, arguably, the most consistent franchise in terms of quality. Splinter Cell: Conviction is in an odd position. It saw numerous delays and even a design and gameplay change. Still, fans remained patient and began to see that patience repaid as a concrete release date and gameplay direction were shared. That release date has come and gone. I have had time to play both the single player and co-op campaigns to completion on the Realistic difficulty. Splinter Cell: Conviction is a great game. Let me explain why."
Microsoft presented a new batch of Xbox 360 games that received Xbox One X enhancements via Xbox One backward compatibility, and here you can watch how they run.
Nothing wrong with more games. As someone who just fundamentally hates xbox, I am pretty jelly that xbox gamers get real BC.

Finally ninja gaiden 2 is BC, I've been waiting on this since they announced BC.
Yeah i thought ninja gaiden was gonna get remaster because it wasnt announced for backwards compatible til just now tho i would've been up for joy if they announced max payne 3 for backwards compatible today instead
Ninja Gaiden 2 is the main game I wanted bcthen alone one x enchanced is this game is more fun than bloodborne
facts, once you beat a souls game and do ng plus, you have the game downloaded. Once you return to ng1 and 2 you still can get your ass handed to you lol, the regular enemies are a threat, still attacking even when they are on the ground dismembered.
Agreed dark souls, bloodborne, and sekiro are overhyped games and dont compare to ninja gaiden 1 & , ninja gaiden 3 sucks.
What does BB have to do with NG2?
Why not insert Contra Shattered Soldier while you're at it.
Ninja gaiden was once considered one of the hardest games ninja gaiden 2 has rpg elements so does bloodborn they have similar combat but ninja gaiden 2 just looks better doing it plus its fast pace and flashy combos removing limbs of foes remember 360 put more enemies on screen than ps3 on this game 360 had more dismemberment of limbs than the ps3 vs.360 had a better gpu but ps3 still to this day has an awesome cpu the ps3 had the prettiest ninja gaiden because of native 720 p while 360 pushed 640p now the one X has both higher rez and 360 style dismemberment But Ok for you contra ps2 version and nes
I do think ninja gaiden 1 and 2 are better than souls games, but they aren't even comparable
Again. Why'd you pick BB?
Ninja Gaiden has ninja dog mode = easy
NG2 has a jump and block button
BB has none of those.
You could've picked a Devil May Cry or Bayonetta game. They're more similar to NG2 than BB.
What does PS3 have to do with this announcement? Your insecurities are showing.
I think they are being compared because of difficulty but I dont even think that is comparable imo. Ninja gaiden games are better though that's just facts.
Amazing news! NG2!?!? Three Splinter Cell games!!! Fable 2&3 (the first is already enhanced)!!! This is what separates Microsoft's version of BC from others...its that they enhance both the performance and visual quality of these titles to keep them current in a lot of cases, instead of playing them exactly how they played and performed back in the day. Whats even better...I don't need to do ANYTHING but download the new patch...amazing.👏
Keep it coming Xbox!

"We don't want that rubbish - we want decent games, we want AAA blockbusters, we want something different". Well, the free Xbox 360 and Xbox One titles being given away during the month of July pretty much tick those boxes. What's the chances there will still be complaints?"
Tom clancy and virtua fighter are great death sqaured is pretty cool idk about assualt
Splinter cell conviction is great, vf 5 is fun. Haven't played the other two so I'm excited to try them out.
Great month for 360 titles, X1 titles remind me of early days when all they gave away were indies, I hope they dont start doing that again.
Now that there's gamepass, expect bugger AAA to have priority in that, more money for both the dev and Ms more likely
Vf5 fs is the best fighting game of all time abd backwards compatible, so it is a huge win in my book.
No these are pretty awful. Virtua Fighter is great and so is Splinter Cell but those are 360 titles.

Don't confuse the Xbox gamers. They have enough problems to deal with... : P'
No confusion at all. Just another game added to the list if anyone gets nostalgic.
"new"? an "old" Tom Clancy Adventure can be enjoyed on xbox one due to back capat is worth the return"
*Fixed*
Good review... I agree with most of it... Hopefully the next one will have Spies vs Mercs.
morning everyone,i pretty much stoped reading this after the author completely missed out ALL the generations metal gear games,as they were the games that inspired both syphon filter and splinter cell.how ANY gamer has not played at least one of the mgs games,and not had an enjoyable experience with it is beyond me...to say there are only two spy/espionage game that have ever earned his trust goes to show the author is either young,or sadly has not enjoyed one of(if not)the best spy/espionage series of all time...oh and the 4.5 score its been given is actually the games lenght.
more like beyond any gamer that puts syphon filter over any mgs game...look i really dont like the direction this games gone,as this review states,the multi players weak,and the storys short.that and my experience with the game(admittedly only 2 hours)is that its far to easy.if your happy with it,great.enjoy it.
