Shacknews Hands-On: Sierra Online - Aces of the Galaxy and Commanders

Shacknews writes: "If a game on Xbox Live Arcade isn't actually a classic title, it's very likely it's a ripoff of one. Which is OK, as long as it's done right and thus worth your Microsoft Points. Sierra Online recently held an event showcasing its forthcoming downloadable offerings, and I picked the two most-promising to single out: Aces of the Galaxy from Artech and Commanders: Attack of the Genos from SouthEnd. Both titles will be available this winter on PC and Xbox Live Arcade."

10 more arrivals hit home with Xbox One Backwards Compatibility – Are they worth the return?

Carlos writes "It’s been a great month so far for the backwards compatibility scheme on Xbox One, but this week may just be the busiest week of all since its introduction. 10 more Xbox 360 titles have made the generational jump and are now playable on Xbox One, so let’s take a look and see if they are worth returning to once more."

Is Dead Space 1 on BC? That was the best one.

XMarkstheSpot2557d ago

And its part of EA Access, hoping they put 2 and 3 in the Vault so I can replay those aswell, never beat 3 Co-Op

brich2332557d ago

Yeah, its been there since about the release of BC.

Cobra9512557d ago

Nothing I care about there. Too bad.

rando 2557d ago

xbox is killing it with backwards compatibility. but they'll STILL find a way to downvote any xbox-positive comment into oblivion. N4G is completely infested with Sony fanboys lol smh

superchiller2557d ago

While I agree with your comment about BC being a great thing, I downvoted you because of your fanboy comments about Sony. I own both the XB1 and PS4 and enjoy both of them, and really appreciate that MS has worked so hard to bring 360 games to the XB1.

rando 2557d ago

@ superchiller: my comment was about N4G not about Sony. so i'm going to give your reading comprehension a downvote.

Razzer2557d ago (Edited 2557d ago )

Nice job turning an Xbox positive article into a whine about fanboys. You are as bad as the people you whine about, dude.

rando 2557d ago

@ Razzer: i'll just say something like "phil spencer is doing a great job" & it'll have 50 downvotes for no reason... if somebody says "Phil Spencer, more like FAIL Spencer... amirite?" it will have 50+ upvotes & top comment. if you're pro-xbox, commenting on N4G gets annoying after awhile. you already know what people's opinion is going to be. PS4 = good. / XB1 = bad. no matter what good xbox does, its never good enough for them. it got so bad to the point where i had to address it. so i did.

Many-hat52555d ago

Yep. Oblivion is on there also.

Shadow Man2557d ago

Where is my silent hill HD collection ?

Lon3wolf2557d ago

Infinite Undiscovery please, when BD and LO got done I was hoping for that soon.

VincentCastle2557d ago

same, that and resonance of fate, magna carta 2, eternal sonata, fable 1, maybe even star ocean 4.

Lon3wolf2557d ago

Indeed, we can only hope :)

Xbox Live's Top Five Underrated Games (RunDLC)

RunDLC posted an article listing its top five underrated Xbox Live Arcade games. The list includes Poker Smash and Rocket Riot.

DelbertGrady5040d ago

I bought Rocket Riot when it was on sale for 400 points. It's awesome old school gameplay with really nice art direction. The later levels demand old school perseverance though :)

Buff10445040d ago

True, Rocket Riot is a real gem. The art style is awesome.

Resumeplay: Alien Dominion: The Acronian Encounter - PC Review

Resumeplay writes: "Developed by Black Fire Games, Alien Dominion: the Acronian Encounter is a high-flying shooter set in space where you have been signed on as the gunner on a spaceship. Before I get into that, I thought I’d mention the activation of the game because it was different than most that I’ve played. Once you buy the game, you copy your serial number and start the game. The serial number is saved on your clipboard and the full version of the game is then activated. To make sure you’ve done it correctly, the timer at the top should no longer be counting down. It was easy and painless, unless you have difficulty copying and pasting. I saw that a few people on the developer’s site felt that the game should be included on Steam. But, I think they’re doing pretty well with what they’re doing now. However, Steam would be a definitely good way to keep track of the game, your information and maybe have some achievements to share with your friends."

Sounds like a whole game like that "defend the hull" mini-game in Dead Space. Which was cool for awhile, but I can't see a whole game out of it.

rogue06745104d ago

Yeah, it was fun just to jump into a mission and go crazy shooting up enemies but after 30 or so minutes, I was pretty much done.
