As reported by Major Nelson himself, the Xbox One Backwards Compatibility list continues to grow. Three new games were added in recent days, but let's be honest with each other, we only care about the ones that let us goof around with a few friends while beating up on an artificial intelligence.
The Xbox LIVE Marketplace is having a huge sale on EA games, many of which support some form of cooperative play. I know some of you think EA is an all-powerful, nightmarish entity that usually passes time by eating children and kicking puppies, but when the publishing juggernaut is not being evil it happens to put out some pretty cool games.
EA has released an Indie Bundle on Steam which features six titles for the low price of $21. The normal asking price for all six games would total almost $70. Best of all, five of the six include cooperative features - score!
The story of Deathspank comes to and end(?) with The Baconing. If you've been following this series at all, you know just how silly these games can get. Silly enough to title the third installment "The Baconing?" Yes, sir. The plot is inconsequential.

In true Deathspank fashion, they're worth a chuckle or an eye roll.
The Baconing, the rather oddly named sequel to DeathSpank, has finally received concrete release dates. The Playstation 3 version debuts on Tuesday, August 30, while the Xbox 360 version lands a day later on August 31.
Not to be outdone by the bevy of sales from Microsoft, the PlayStation Network has announced their "11 for 11" sale. That's right, eleven PS3 games for half the price, in honor of 2011. (Personally, I can't wait for 2099. That sale should be incredible.) There is a smattering of co-op goodies sprinkled into the lineup, including Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue, Hoard, Soldner-X2: Final Prototype, Comet Crash, and Shatter. These offers are only available until the end of the month. For a full list of pricing and games getting the half off treatment, read on.
Thongy Content Explosion! A whole lotta EA content is on sale over at the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Add-ons for games like Dragon Age: Origins, Madden, FIFA, and Medal of Honor are all 50% off. Some EA Xbox LIVE Arcade games are half off as well, including co-op titles such as RISK: Factions, Microbot, DeathSpank, an...
The other day I was asked what I thought of Dragon Age by one of my buddies. I sat for a moment and finally admitted “I have it, but haven’t played...” Why would someone do that? I have a strange quirk where I don’t like starting games unless I have time to finish them...
Since our last time visiting with Deathspank he had a buddy with him - a goofy little wizard named Sparkles. Shortly after completing the first game, Deathspank makes a triumphant return in a sequel that feels an awful lot like an expansion Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue.
