Three years ago, Xbox LIVE users witnessed the official launch of Geometry Wars. Previously only available as a mini game in Project Gotham Racing, Geometry wars went on to become one of the biggest selling games on Xbox LIVE Arcade. Fast forward two years and Geometry Wars saw releases on the Nintendo DS and Wii, as well as being available on Windows. Now Geometry Wars reappears on Xbox LIVE in the form of Retro Evolved 2. When Geometry Wars first hit Xbox LIVE Arcade, it was applauded as a masterpiece - an affordable game with it's mesmerising visuals, simple gameplay and addictive qualities. Retro Evolved 2 steps beyond this, refining everything that was great about the original and adding some much needed depth in the process. While much of the game play is the same; new music, game modes and some tough but reachable achievements make this sequel even more addictive than the original!
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.
