‘Darksiders’, ‘Breakdown’ Arrive for Xbox One via Backwards Compatibility

Published

on

Xbox One owners (Xboners?) have a new crop of backwards-compatible games arriving for the surface this month. Right now, genre fans will be able to enjoy Darksiders and Gears of War 2 with Xbox One X Enhanced updates. Don’t worry, for those who don’t have a One X, there’s more coming later this month.

On April 17, owners of Namco’s 2004 FPS Breakdown and Interplay’s 2002 hack and slasher Hunter: The Reckoning will be able to play the games on their Xbox One. Later in the month, on April 26, aside from a crop of Star Wars games, those Xbox 360 owners who enjoyed the cheesy fun of Pandemic Studios’ 2005 game Destroy All Humans! will have it once again on the Xbox One. If you don’t own the original discs for these titles, you can purchase them digitally through the Microsoft Store.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
