Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate fused characters from both series to defeat the Serpent King Orochi. The fun begins with over 120 playable characters within a mix-and-match system for additional customizability.
Secondly, WWE 2K16 will give gamers a chance to enter the bloody arena and join the wrestling mayhem. WWE 2K16 is the latest in the video game series boasting over 120 Superstars and Legends. The real challenge in this contest of strenght is the addition of wits, where gamers have to make alliances to ensure steady footing in their quest to be on the top of the foodchain.
Xbox 360 will start the month scouring underground in the hit standalone Spelunky. The game will showcase the gamer's destructive persona as they blast through rocks to find shortcuts and challenges. Gamers have to show wits in avoiding traps, finding loot and annihilating enemies, all for the quest to discover what is the treasure and surprises at the endgame.
Finally, on Aug.16, Beyond Good & Evil HD will invade the platform as gamers play as Jade, an inquisitive media reporter trying expose a sinister government conspiracy. Armed with her camera, intelligence and a combat stick, she will try to save humankind with the aid of a pig.
Sadly, the two latter games can be played on advanced Xbox One units via backward compatibility only.
