With no chance of the unflappable Hot Shots making it to the 360, golf gamers look for fixes by any means necessary– yes, even putt-putt simulators. Casual games developer Housemarque (of the Playstation Network's Super Stardust HD fame) is shooting a bit beyond the miniature golf audience with Golf: Tee it Up which is due out later this year via Xbox Live Arcade.
Although not a true golf sim, Golf: Tee it Up should give Xbox 360 owners that unique mixture of comical characters and realistic gameplay that has made the Hot Shots series such a success.
Carlos writes "I reckon it’s safe to say that no Xbox 360 title arriving on Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility now will be quite as anticipated as that of last week’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, but that doesn’t mean there aren't still hundreds of cracking titles that we’d like to see make their way onto the scheme. The latest batch of arrivals brings five new games across to Xbox One, none of which have really been at the top of the wish list for many players. But are there a few gems in there you should be returning to?"
3D mini golf was good but I was never very skillfull at it, maybe I will jump back to it.
I was actually quite good at it. played online against my nieces and nephews. Beat the crap out of them. The father came to the rescue and I slayed him too. I learned the physics, and got quite good at banking shots. I actually had a lot of arcade games and I am happy to have them back.
Golf is an activity that is challenging, relaxing, and addictive, but unfortunately time, finances, and distance often stand in the way of enjoying the pleasures of the course. Fortunately, free online golf games exist in abundance to help satisfy the craving, and these games are addictive in their own right. The intricacies of strategy and skill are well-translated into a virtual experience in many games; others offer a more casual approach. Whether playing the full 18 holes of real, famous golf courses or focusing on angles in a whimsical miniature golf games, I find the range of options to play golf online endlessly entertaining and challenging.
Taking a look at three games that may have gotten overlooked
Not a big fan of Risk. Probably because the board game peeks my interest more. Either way, these are some great games for sure.
Android and iphone games offer the same entertainment as the ones listed are way cheaper.
Multiplayer on phones and such aren't as good though. And I doubt that have single player campaigns like those mainly do.
I have a lot of great iphone games that I play regularly, but spending a couple hours battling a few friends and talking smack playing Risk Fractions is a different experience. Granted its no Angry Birds
