Sometimes I’ll catch a buddy on my friend’s list winding their way through odd Xbox Arcade titles. He introduced me to MeatBoy, Limbo, Monday Night Combat, and so many other WIN Arcade games. This past week he was playing Stacking. The gameplay gimmick centers around Russian Matryoshka, also called Nesting Dolls. My Mother is a long time collector of Nesting Dolls and as a child I spent some serious time with them. I lost “Little Lenin” from a set of Russian Leader Nesting Dolls once. Thankfully my Father was able to conjure up an evil looking mustached Lego Man as a replacement. Stacking played naturally to my love of Nesting, and I eagerly dropped the 1200 M$ points.

Stacking was released in 2011 by Double Fine and remains one of their oddest and most intriguing titles. It's a puzzle game masking a serious message, but is it worth picking up today? Jump Dash Roll plays with some dolls before giving its opinion in this week's Brutal Backlog review.
Carlos writes "March may not have provided equal delights when compared to that of February’s backward compatible arrivals, especially with great games such as GTA IV, Borderlands 2 and Hitman: Absolution arriving amongst the masses on Xbox One last month, but that doesn’t mean we’re any less content when new additions come to the program.
Today sees a fresh batch of titles join the fray, but with so many to choose from now, are they worth going back to or should they be left on the shelf forever more?"
Yes, but it's not there yet for me. Bummer. Was looking forward to reliving that one today.
Yawn. I don't get it. Xbox doesn't seem to want to open the purse strings to bring in new IPs and with the selection of bc games, you can't tell me developers wouldn't want to get more.money on old IPs. I'm sorry to say, but Xbox feels like they care less and less for the gamer's...
