Right now, stores are wondering why Left 4 Dead 2 is in such high demand. It’s an alright game, make no mistake, but one that you don’t see on too many platforms, especially newer consoles. Until today that is, as Valve’s cult classic zombie multiplayer shooter is now alive and kicking on the Xbox One. Ever since backwards compatibility was announced, Microsoft has been releasing games every month, games that developers were happy to sort of re-release and approve for that particular system.

It used to be done in monthly drops, but since then, these games have gone live as they were approved. And so far, 130 of these games are available to anyone who threw down $4 for an hour’s worth of fun during an Xbox 360 sale (Hello Soul Calibur II HD!).

    Some of those games are only available on US and UK accounts like Sam and Max and Aegis wing to name a few. Something MS failed to mention…

      Simple solution. Change your location on your console to US. That’s how I got Earthworm Jim and Aegis Wing

        Aegis Wing needs a proxy doesnt it? Sure that needs a proxy. I do that all the time too (did that with rock band 4’s DLC). But remember using foreign accounts require you to get their currency cards from EVO points too ( or where ever you buy your subs ect). Seeing they dont recognize most South African Check or Credit cards for some reason….

        I’m nit picking but SA has been with XBL for more than 4 years now and we still dont have most games US/UK have. But on the South African Sony store its more or less as US/UK. Just my 5 cents.

          It could also be that I got it using a US profile before changing over to SA but like I said, I just changed locale on xb1 and boom, problem solved. Have you tried changing your profile to US?
