After a bit of a hiatus, Microsoft is busy adding new games to the Xbox backward compatible list again this week. The latest to arrive is Call of Duty: Ghosts, which is a bit of a mixed bag, to say the least.
Released in 2013, Call of Duty: Ghosts puts players in the shoes of a force fighting for the survival of a weakened nation.
Ten years after a devastating mass event, the nation's borders and the balance of global power have been redrawn forever. As what's left of the nation's Special Operations forces, a mysterious group known only as "Ghosts" leads the fight back against a newly emerged, technologically-superior global power.
Ghosts is an interesting addition in that it was also released for the Xbox One along with consoles from last generation. If you previously owned the game for Xbox 360 before upgrading to the Xbox One, however, this is a good way to jump back in without having to purchase it twice.
The game is available on the Xbox 360 Marketplace, but at a prohibitive $40. At that price, you'd be better off just picking up a discounted copy of the Xbox One version if you don't own the game yet.
