Microsoft is today adding two more games to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility list, bringing it to a grand total of 411 titles. Today"s additions include Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and ScreamRide.
While the company isn"t putting new games on the list as frequently as it used to, it did add four last week, and two the week before. Later this year though, it will be bringing original Xbox games to the program.
Here"s what"s new today:
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance ($19.99)
METAL GEAR RISING: REVENGEANCE takes the renowned METAL GEAR franchise into exciting new territory by focusing on delivering an all-new action experience unlike anything that has come before. Combining world-class development teams at Kojima Productions and PlatinumGames, MGR REVENGEANCE brings two of the world’s most respected teams together with a common goal of providing players with a fresh synergetic experience that combines the best elements of pure action and epic storytelling, all within the expansive MG universe. The game introduces Raiden as the central character; a child soldier transformed into a half-man, half-machine cyborg ninja, equipped with a high-frequency katana blade and a soul fueled by revenge.
This game features stunning high definition graphics, hundreds of customizable building components, physics-based destruction, cinematic collisions, unlockable levels, in-game leaderboards, global rankings and more. ScreamRide is the home of limitless innovation. Push the boundaries of thrill seekers everywhere. Take on your perfect role to complete each level in multiple ways. Scream seekers can prove their precise piloting skills, engineers can solve cunning construction puzzles and demolition experts can ignite the most explosive carnage possible. The path you choose is up to you!
As always, if you"re looking for new games on the cheap and you"re an Xbox Live Gold subscriber, you should be checking out Games with Gold, which will give you four free games per month. And it"s the 15th, which means that it"s the last day that you can claim Runbow (Xbox One) - which was among last month"s offers - and Bayonetta (Xbox 360). You can also get Slime Rancher (Xbox One) until the end of the month.
Also, as part of this month"s Games with Gold, you can grab Trials Fusion (Xbox One) and Red Faction: Armageddon (Xbox 360) starting tomorrow.
