Carlos writes - "This week has already proven exceptionally busy for Xbox One’s Backwards Compatibility program with the arrival of several Xbox Original titles. It seems all is not over however, as now we see even more games added to help expand the ever-growing list even more. In typical fashion we’re here once more to bring you our thoughts on the latest additions, and give our views on whether it’s worth the time, and effort, to head back to these past titles once more."

Oh wow how fast they keep adding them it's so good to know all new Xbox consoles are gonna carry all these games with better graphics it's amazing
Backwards compatibility should be a standard going forward. There should be no reason it can't be done. I expect the PS5 to play all PS4 games. We already know that's going to be the case with Xbox 5.
GamerZines: Telltale Games' Dan Connors has revealed that his company makes nearly 40% of its revenue from the various console platforms, proving that it's worth porting the likes of Sam & Max and Monkey Island to the PS3, 360 and Wii.
"We generally launch with one console partner during the run of the season, and usually does about 40 per cent of the revenue," Explained the CEO in a recent interview.
I love Sam and Max. I got the PC version but I caved in and also bought the PS3 version.
Following Sony's announcements of the April Foolishness Sale and PSP Favourites promotion earlier this week, Microsoft has today revealed a cost-cutting activity of their own. From today, eight top titles held on the Xbox 360's Xbox LIVE Arcade are available for half-price, and two further titles are set to be greatly reduced. These sale prices are limited however, available for only seven days.
... and nothing on that list really interests me. Bit of a disappointment.
When the hell are they finally gonna discount TrialsHD!?
Splosion man would be a good for me when it gets a price drop.
SSF2HD is not bad. Schizoid was pretty fun so maybe.
I love sales like these.
I will buy pretty much anything when it's around 4 or 5 dollars.
Trials HD is continually one of the best selling arcade titles week after week, i wouldn't imagine they would offer it on sale if they didnt need to
Well, I'm partly glad they actually didn't lessen the prices of XBLA games I've been wanting for a while because I didn't take my 360 away with me over this week.
...it's not "inventory", if it's only available as a digital download. Just sayin'....
