Co-Optimus: A few months ago we reviewed Raiden Fighters Aces for the Xbox 360. It was a collection of "classic" Raiden Figthers games for the 360 with some incredible value. A few months later we have a full sequel to Raiden III on the same platform, one that's enhanced from the arcade version of Raiden IV. Not much has changed from the familiar Raiden formula and game style, but the biggest change that is immediately noticeable are full 3d graphics. Gone is the sprite based gameplay we've all grown accustomed to, in its place are some monumental looking environments and effects. Your purple laser never looked so good.
Carlos writes "Not so long ago we brought you our thoughts on the last set of backwards compatible titles to arrive on Xbox One as Microsoft closed in on the 400 Xbox backwards compatible games figure. This week has seen another fresh batch of games brought back, which now pushes that number up and over the four century mark. But, the big question is this - are they worth heading back to or should they be left in the past?"
Who cares if they're worth the return? They're just adding games. That's what they do and it's admirable.
Caladrius, the shoot-em-up with artwork by Suzuhito Yasuda (Devil Survivor) is coming to the PlayStation 3, along with Raiden IV.
GNT: Had a fast-paced and frantic day? Perhaps you need to keep that energy going? If you want fast-paced insanity, there’s no better place to go than this interesting shooter.
I’m talking about Raiden IV for the XBox 360.
