This Week's Xbox Sales Include Some Rarely Seen Backwards Compatible Games

I loved From Dust when it was released. Strange mix of God-sim and Lemmings. Definitely recommended for anyone who hasn’t tried it.

Always looking for some of these non discounted ones to be cheaper. I think army of 2 and original nier are the ones i need left to cleanup my 360 digital library

Holy moley. I bought Braid a while ago but I never thought From Dust would ever be on sale again.

I'll be grabbing that one later today.

Definitely gonna pick up both the EDF games but I’m still waiting for Otogi 2 to go on sale.

@Kaloudz The three games are Sands of Time (backwards compatible), Warrior Within, and Two Thrones. Not sure why the last two games of the trilogy aren't backwards compatible as the trilogy did have a re-release on the ps3 back in the day. Warrior Within had the past/present feature where the map would change depending which time you were in. There was also the big guy that would chase you due to the prince disrupting time in the first game. Two Thrones had the dark prince you could turn into with the chain whip. All fun games but I do find Sands of Time is the best of the three. A reason I keep my original Xbox around.

I picked up Bastion for 3$ this morning. Good times.

This is really cool, finally some new sales and of good games too! Almost makes being hospitalized for a week worth it.

@Zaphod42 I looked up some info about the EDF series since I know nothing about it but I am interested in checking it out as well. Apparently 2017 is a great game but 2025 is underwhelming. Not to mention that there's an updated port of 2025 called 4.1, which is available on PS4 and makes 2025 basically obsolete.

So the consensus seems to be to get 2017 and grab 4.1 instead of 2025. A local store has 4.1 for only €15 on PS4, so I think I'll be getting it if I like 2017. EDF 5 is also on there for around €15, which is seemingly the best game in the series.

If you want to play Rayman Legends on Xbox One or Series X/S, that version is also on sale for the same price. Wahey!

@LtSarge All of the EDF's are great, including the spin offs. IMO the best in the numbered series is EDF 5, 4.1/2025, 6, then 2017. Even though I think 2017 is the 4th best, it's still amazing and it is a great place to start. 2017 made me an EDF fan for life. EDF! EDF!

I wish Revenge of the Sith would get reduced.

I'm still waiting for Ninja Gaiden 2 to go on sale

@Boldfoxrd Same. I could never play it back in the day cause it skipped the GameCube.

@FraserG Thanks. 'Ruptured Intestine' was not on my personal Bingo card, but stuff happens lol

I'm thinking of buying split/second. But I'm also thinking of selling the xbox.

@CutchuSlow There's one currently discounted (and another already free) DLC for Split Second on the marketplace, so you may want to grab those if you hadn't noticed.

@Scummbuddy oh ok thank you.
