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.
Gamers Heroes writes: A staple of 90s-era arcades worldwide, the shoot-em-up genre makes a return with the Steam release of 5pb and MAGES’ Bullet Soul. Packing more bullets than an NRA convention, does this danmaku soothe your itchy trigger finger?
Seems like a pretty mediocre shooter. That's a shame. Still, I love the art style.
HPP: "Oh Bullet Soul, oh how I wanted to enjoy you more than I did. Bullet Soul is a shoot’em up originally released for the Xbox 360, and I got to play the new Steam version which includes all the DLC. Look, I’ll be real with you: I like all the game genres I’ve had the joy to review on this site, but I can also admit that my skills are pretty average when it comes to video games. The same is true for shoot’em ups – however, even though I like this genre, this game feels very bare bones. It’s not a terrible experience by any means, it’s just painfully average."
