If you're in need of a big-screen version of Advance Wars, Commanders: Attack of the Genos is it; the setup is a near direct rip-off of Nintendo's portable series (which in turn, ripped off many games before it). In Commanders, you capture income-producing structures and unit-producing bases in order to pump out an army that will, turn by turn, take out opposing forces. The traditional rock-paper-scissors-style combat is thoroughly familiar here -- aircraft can take out ground troops, antiair guns can take out aircraft, artillery cannons can take out long-range targets (but are screwed when a foe gets up close), etc. It's just too bad that Commanders does very little to differentiate itself other than have all movement and combat based on movement points rather than on a set range of motion -- if you choose not to move an infantry unit, you can save up its movement points to squeeze in a second attack instead, which does affect strategy in small ways".
Carlos writes "It’s been a great month so far for the backwards compatibility scheme on Xbox One, but this week may just be the busiest week of all since its introduction. 10 more Xbox 360 titles have made the generational jump and are now playable on Xbox One, so let’s take a look and see if they are worth returning to once more."
And its part of EA Access, hoping they put 2 and 3 in the Vault so I can replay those aswell, never beat 3 Co-Op
xbox is killing it with backwards compatibility. but they'll STILL find a way to downvote any xbox-positive comment into oblivion. N4G is completely infested with Sony fanboys lol smh
While I agree with your comment about BC being a great thing, I downvoted you because of your fanboy comments about Sony. I own both the XB1 and PS4 and enjoy both of them, and really appreciate that MS has worked so hard to bring 360 games to the XB1.
@ superchiller: my comment was about N4G not about Sony. so i'm going to give your reading comprehension a downvote.
Nice job turning an Xbox positive article into a whine about fanboys. You are as bad as the people you whine about, dude.
@ Razzer: i'll just say something like "phil spencer is doing a great job" & it'll have 50 downvotes for no reason... if somebody says "Phil Spencer, more like FAIL Spencer... amirite?" it will have 50+ upvotes & top comment. if you're pro-xbox, commenting on N4G gets annoying after awhile. you already know what people's opinion is going to be. PS4 = good. / XB1 = bad. no matter what good xbox does, its never good enough for them. it got so bad to the point where i had to address it. so i did.
same, that and resonance of fate, magna carta 2, eternal sonata, fable 1, maybe even star ocean 4.
Gamereactor caught up with Southend Interactive's CEO and co-founder Anders Jeppsson to talk about the first ten years of Southend's existence and how they transitioned from a small team making games like Deathrow (Xbox, 2002) and working on XIII (Xbox version) to their current projects Lode Runner and R-Type Dimensions for Xbox Live Arcade.
Gfx of Deathrow were very good back then. Unfortunately it had no online (just like Halo1) cause XBL didn't even exist back then.
A deathrow2 could be a success, but from the interview i get there won't be a dr2
Commander: Napoleon at War manages to get a lot of things right. It strikes a nice balance between simulation and convenience, giving players just enough to make their strategic decisions matter, but not so much that they're crushed under the weight of tables and numbers. With that said, the real focus here is on moving and fighting, not on diplomacy, technology or economy. Those elements are present, of course, but they're on the sidelines. But as fun and as big as the game is, the lack of a solid AI and the strange limitations on how you move and attack limit the amount of fun you'll have here.
