Microsoft today added three more games to the Xbox One Backward Compatibility list. Today"s additions include FLOCK!, HALF-MINUTE HERO -Super Mega Neo Climax-, and Tour de France 2009.
It"s good news for anyone that was worried that Microsoft might be slowing down. Last week only saw the addition of Interpol, while the week before was just Red Dead Redemption. Prior to that, the list was expanding rapidly, with four and eight titles added in the prior two weeks, respectively.
Here"s what got added today:
Protect your cornfields and lock up your livestock, because FLOCK is here! Herd cute, cuddly animals through over 50 sandbox puzzles with the help of your UFO tractor beam! Flock together with a friend, and even create and share your own crazy levels online with the built-in level editor! With so much to do, the potential for fun is out of this world! Buy it today!
