Xbox has generally always encouraged backward compatibility on its consoles. This is why gamers who have the latest Xbox consoles can still play Original Xbox games on them. In celebration of the Lunar New Year, Microsoft is now offering some great deals on these older games, which are great options for gamers who are in the mood for nostalgia.
Some of the highlights from the Lunar New Year sale include Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist, which is currently being offered for 60% off. Ubisoft is currently hiring staff to work on a Splinter Cell remake, which currently has no release date as yet. In the meantime, players wanting to have a great stealth experience can enjoy Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Blacklist as the game has aged relatively well and can offer gamers a lot of bang for their buck owing to the game's current low price.
Gamers who were disappointed by the cancellation of PT, but never played the original Silent Hill games are also in luck, as the Silent Hill HD Collection is on sale for 75% off. Many fans claim the games in the series to be some of the best gaming horror experiences out there even in the present day.
