Four New Games for Xbox One Backwards Compatibility
The ever increasing line-up of games for Xbox One backwards compatibility was pumped up by the addition of four new games today. Announced by Major Nelson here’s what’s joining the already expansive list of games:
DiRT 3 (Review – 91)
This rally and racing game received a whopping COG score of 91 and is easily one of the best racing games of the last gen. In DiRT 3 , you’ll race iconic cars representing 50 years of off-road motorsport across three continents – from the forests of Michigan to the infamous roads of Finland and the national parks of Kenya. You’ll also express yourself in the stunning Gymkhana mode, inspired by Ken Block’s incredible freestyle driving event, and take on other modes including Rallycross, Trailblazer and Landrush.
Dirt Showdown (Review – 88)
Next up is another game in the DiRT franchise, DiRT Showdown. Race, crash and hoon your way through a world tour of motorised mayhem! Crowd atmosphere, social gameplay and accessibility are all ramped up in this turbo- injected shot of driving delirium. Smash down the accelerator and earn the adulation of frenzied crowds at hyper-energised events at iconic locations. Trick, speed and smash your way to victory, then do it again. Use boost to blast past your rivals in races, unleash your inner hoonigan in huge freestyle, free-roaming stunt parks and see gaming’s most advanced damage engine pushed to its limits in devastating demolition derby events.
Grid 2 (Review – 80)
Hope you like racing because this is the third racing game (and third from Codemasters, as well) to be added in this latest update. Grid 2 propels you to be first, be fast, be famous in the sequel to the Bafta Award winning, Grid. Earn fame, fans and fortune as you blaze your way to the top in intense, relentless races on licensed cir
Shank 2
The last game added for Xbox One backwards compatibility is Shank 2. The fan-favorite 2D brawler is back as ex-mob hit man Shank returns to action in. With those closest to him under attack, Shank is once again forced to go on the offensive. Now he must put his trusty arsenal of handguns, shotguns, automatic weapons, chainsaws, machetes, grenades, plus all-new weapons and moves to use in order to protect those close to him.
