Blood Bath and Beyond just can't match up. It's not a terrible game, just an utterly unoriginal and instantly forgettable one. The humour which is supposed to elevate it above this status falls flat, the presentation is poor and it's just not worth a tenner. Spend your cash on Shadow Complex instead, or start saving up for that hoverboard.
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.

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."
RunDLC posted an article listing the Xbox Live Arcade games that take up the most hard drive space. Games include Shadow Complex and Madden NFL Arcade.

"There are no new ideas here. You wander along linear paths, shooting enemies, lobbing grenades, dodging bullets and doing the odd jump"
- it's supposed to be retro...as in old school...like before the new ideas...not only that but shooting enemies, lobbing grenades, dodging bullets and doing the odd jump is sort of why most people game.
"In no way is it a reason to cough up 1200 Microsoft Points (£10.20 in real money)"
- I don't really have a witty comment for this quote...I thought the fact Eurogamer rides the 360 like diseased stripper was funny enough.
