The idea behind Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard was intriguing, it just didn't pan out into an enjoyable game. Turns out there was definitely something to that basic idea, though, because the more modest Blood Bath & Beyond is a real good time. It's a simple run-and-gun shooter in the style of Contra but its self-deprecating sense of humor and videogame in-jokes will keep you entertained until the end. Make sure you stick around after the credits for a nice little surprise.

Carlos writes - "Whether the idea of dusting off that library of Xbox 360 games for a spin once more is for you or not, the fact that there are now almost 400 titles available to play through backwards compatibility is certainly impressive. Nevertheless, for many gamers, more is better and now we see five new titles made playable on Xbox One.
But are they worth heading back to once more, or should we stick with the abundance of new titles gracing the Xbox Store in recent weeks."
