GrE writes, "Does anyone else remember Madballs? Is it just me and my strange British ways that Madballs mostly passed me by? I have a vague recollection of the plastic, squishy balls with hideous faces on them, but ultimately, they had no purpose. You couldn't really bounce them because of their shape (there would always be an eye sticking out somewhere meaning it didn't bounce properly), but then what do you do with a ball that isn't a ball? I guess that's why Madballs became a little forgettable in the end..."
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.
Dealspwn rounds up ten brilliant XBLA games that you probably haven't heard of.
Dealspwn: "The Xbox Live Marketplace has gone from strength to strength over the last few years, becoming nothing less than the Xbox 360's unique selling point. It's the ultimate equaliser and a source of innovation that frequently puts retail releases to shame - but the only flaw is that it's easy for XBLA games to go unnoticed without even making a splash.
So here are ten of the games that fell through the media cracks, that languish near the bottom of the best selling lists yet provide plenty of bang for your buck."
I remember the TV show of this.. it was greatness back in the day
Great review! I'm glad to see this game was liked
This is a much funner game than I expected. Strangely compelling.
I think they must have been less of a big deal in Britain. I can't remember the TV show at all!
Pretty cool that it has Avatar inclusion- haven't seen mine since playing 1 vs. 100!
