It should not come as a big surprise, but confirmation of Call of Duty: Black Ops coming to backwards compatibility by February is now official. Hopefully, it does not come by itself and we get Bioshock Infinite or at least another arcade game to the mix. Speaking of which, I played Ms. Pac Man and Peggle over BC this weekend. Simple games, worked well, no surprises…especially the part where I really suck at any version of Pac-Man. I’m currently up to level 16, but I seriously doubt I make level 21. Anyway, if I hear additional news or Black Ops drops, I’ll post here. Have a great week.
2:30PM Update – Consider this a rumor but the next Games with Gold have been leaked by several sources. I had heard about Sherlock Holmes and truth is I had bought a physical copy no less than a month ago but I only paid a couple of bucks for it. So I’ll download the GWG, and assuming I finish it quickly, I can resell my sealed copy for more than a couple of bucks, I’m sure. The two BC games sound pretty nice since I’ve had wanted to try Supreme Commander and just didn’t want to spend the $10-$15 to do so. I already own Borderlands (GOTY version at that), but I’ll take advantage of the free digital copy since it runs pretty darn well, and has all of the DLC to boot. I had been on the lookout for Borderlands Handsome Collection but playing the original will satisfy my fix until B:HC hits $20 which it should by the second half of this year. More Borderlands, always a good thing.
Tuesday update: Games with Gold has now been confirmed on all four counts. Yeah for truthful rumors!
