BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY: Two New Backwards Compatible Games Today

Today we receive two more Xbox 360 games, playable on the Xbox One with backwards compatibility.

Omega Five and Military Madness are coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today.

*As always, those that own these games digitally will be able to download them again for free from the "Ready to Download" section of the Xbox One

The baddest guys around have been gathered together in order to save the beautiful planet from the clutches of invaders! Take control of characters such as a pirate, alien, or samurai and unleash aggressive action against the invading mechanical life forms using the most awesome weapons in the galaxy! Team up with another player in multiplayer for co-op action or go solo in single player and shoot for the high score with Omega Five's intense scoring system!

The Military is back for a new generation of recruits! The classic turn-based strategy series Military Madness, aka Nectaris, returns with an all-new graphical barrage and a host of new features. In addition to the single-player campaign, you and your allies can wage war offline or online in 4-person multiplayer, either in teams or every man for himself. As you bask in the glow of victory or suffer crushing defeats, check the online leaderboards to compare your skills against those of other generals. There’s even an all-new multiplayer-only unit, the Commander, which has 20 unique abilities to turn the tide of battle. This is the maddest game in the series yet!

BACKWARDS COMPATIBILITY: 2, What I Call Companion Games Backwards Compatible Today

Today we are getting what I like to call "Companion Games."  To me a companion game is a game from a series that does feel like it's up to par with the rest of the games from that series and seems more like an addon than a stand alone game, for example Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, as seen in this month's Games With Gold.

Dead Space Ignition and Escape Dead Island are coming to Xbox One Backward Compatibility today

*As always, those that own these games digitally will be able to download them again for free from the "Ready to Download" section of the Xbox One

In Dead Space Ignition you must survive the initial Necromorph outbreak on The Sprawl. The game blends a comic presentation with three unique hacking games. You’ll receive unlocks in Dead Space 2 including an exclusive suit. Can you survive the events leading up to Dead Space 2? *Free download requires prior reservation and unique redemption code from participating retailers. Dead Space Ignition is also available for purchase without the pre-order of Dead Space 2.

Escape Dead Island is a Survival-Mystery adventure that follows Cliff Calo, who sets sail to document the unexplained events on Banoi. Arriving on the island of Narapela, he finds that not everything is as it seems. This title lets players delve into the Dead Island universe and unravel the origins of the zombie outbreak. Escape is just the beginning.
