Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb has announced via Twitter that another two titles are now Xbox One backwards compatible. If you happened to own an Xbox 360, you'll probably recognize both as Xbox Live Arcade titles.The first title, Hydrophobia, is a survival adventure game first released in 2010 for Xbox 360 before making its way onto PC and PS3 the following year. The game takes place on a massive ocean vessel where the wealthy elite can live in comfort while the rest of the world suffers from overpopulation. You play as Kate Wilson, an engineer aboard the vessel who must reluctantly become its savior after a terrorist attack leaves the ship susceptible to flooding. In our Hydrophobia review, we criticized the game's "poor dialogue and voice acting, as well as stereotypical supporting characters" but praised the "impressive" water visuals and "tense atmosphere."The second game, Marathon: Durandal, is the 2007 Xbox 360 port of Marathon 2: Durandal, a first-person shooter made by Bungie that … [Read more...] about Xbox One: Two More Games Added To Backwards Compatible List

January’s Xbox backwards compatibility recommendation: Bayonetta
It never gets arduous killing demons. They truly are the guilt-free hack and slash targets of choice when it comes to satisfying a digital bloodlust. That said, it wasn’t until Bayonetta that I discovered equal satisfaction in button-mashing angels and deities back up into the heavens. It’s possible I simply lack sympathy and basic respect for anything on-screen that isn’t me, or that the grace and poise Bayonetta displays throughout the first instalment of her self-titled pound-athon has me showing more compassion for the next intricate attack combo than the poor soul on the receiving end. Read more Xbox One backward compatibility list - every old game you can play today ‘Late to the party on this’ may be understating a touch, seeing as Bayonetta pirouetted her way onto the Xbox 360 back in late 2009, but it did give me plenty of time to cleanse the palette.
