With the E3 2016 just looming in the horizon, Microsoft has added more games to their Xbox One Backward Compatibility list. Three of the latest games to be added are "Aqua," "Anomaly: Warzone Earth" and "Lazy Raiders."
The announcement was made via a Twitter Post by Microsoft executive Larry Hryb. These games were added to the list as of June 7. These games aren't exactly Triple A titles, but they're not without a following.
"Aqua" or "Aqua - Naval Warfare" was released back in 2010 for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade. This game is considered to be an arcade action-shooter set in a world where its surface is covered vastly by water. The game has a steampunk theme and has since had mixed reception.
"Anomaly: Warzone Earth" was released back in 2012 for Xbox Live Arcade as a real-time strategy game that plays like a reversed tower defense video game. It's set in the near future, where the user plays as the commander of the "14th platoon" sent to investigate the wrecked sections of an alien spacecraft that crash-landed in several major cities throughout the world. This game has received mainly positive reviews for its ingenuity.
Lastly, "Lazy Raiders" was released in 2010 for the Xbox Live Arcade. Originally called "Dig It Up," this game uses a mechanic called a "World-Flip," which spins the entire world, allowing object movement through the use of gravity. This game has over 80 levels and has a generally positive reception, with IGN giving it an 8 out of 10 rating because of its clever challenges.
All these games will be available through the Xbox Live Marketplace for those interested. However, for those who have owned them beforehand, the games can be downloaded through their Xbox One library instead.
