In what’s great news for fans of climbing stuff, Microsoft’s original orb-chasing classic Crackdown has finally joined the Xbox One backwards compatibility list in style – and it’s available as of right now. The Xbox 360’s open-world action game has been given the full Xbox One X enhanced treatment, meaning it runs at a higher resolution than before, and boasts nine times the pixel count (4K as opposed to 720p). Crackdown’s not the only new game on the One X enhanced list. CD Projekt’s seminal The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, open-world (well, open-Colorado) racer Forza Horizon, and that game where you play as a mute orphan, Fable Anniversary, now have far more beautiful pixels, making it a grand total of 11 Xbox One X Enhanced Xbox 360 games. Here’s the full list of Xbox One X enhanced Xbox 360 titles, which you can also play on your Xbox One and Xbox One S, minus the upscaled graphics.

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.
