If you've ever played casual games, there's a good chance you've played a game like the most recent addition to Xbox Live Arcade, Luxor 2. In fact, XBLA already has a similar title in Zuma Deluxe.
In simple terms, the premise is you have a shooter that fires colored balls, and you're aiming to put the ball you're firing into a group of like-colored balls. If you match three or more, they'll disappear from the chain. Even better is if that group of balls disappearing causes other like-colored balls to group, which gives you a bonus. The gameplay continues until you clear the board (for your victory) or when the balls reach the other end (for a Game Over).
Carlos writes "It’s been a while since we last had any new Xbox One backwards compatible titles to cast our nostalgic minds back to once more, and in the few weeks since the last arrivals, releases in general have been a lot quieter than usual. But that all looks set to change with several new games hitting the store all in one go, and today seeing some fresh faces to the backwards compatible library too.
The thing is, are they worth the return or should they simply remain as nothing more than a memory forever more?"
Microsoft has announced the latest additions to the Xbox One's backwards compatibility catalog. Arriving today are four Xbox 360 games: Street Fighter IV, Luxor 2, Madballs in Babo: Invasion, and Poker Smash.
SFIV and SSFIV are considered different games right? Need to know whether I should be happy or not.
Yes they are different. Sf iv is the very first iteration while super is second and has balance changes as well as new chars, aditional ultra for each character, new stages /modes and of course different arcade mode stories for each character.
Finally, Madballs in Babo: Invasion!!!
I honestly didn't even know it was a game. Hell, I still don't even know what it's about, but the idea of having to Invade Babo with Madballs popped into my head and it just doesn't sound right at all anymore...
lol still waiting for a patch on xbox 360 for that one first so good luck. would be cool.
That's why you dropped your troll comment about two games we don't really care about in an Xbox related article.....they have NOTHING to do with Xbox BC.
I'm playing that too but that doesn't mean I'm not happy about my favorite fighting game being playable on xbox one.
I have access to Zelda but please don't be instigating the console war.
I'll be downloading SFIV asap.
"There are multiple reasons why I’m a casual gamer. Despite the multiple offspring and hectic schedule, I choose to be a casual gamer because I have an addictive personality. When I play a game, I like it to be challenging (but not difficult). I also like to win. I like to see my stats. I have found a love for my addictive personality, and it is called Luxor 2." - Hanna Benedict, Brutal Gamer
