With all of the excitement of E3 and the thrills brought on by Project Scarlett, Microsoft’s next generation gaming platform, there was some bittersweet news as well. Microsoft announced the next batch of games that are now available via Xbox’s Backward Compatibility program will be the last. The team over at Xbox is now looking forward to the future of the platform with Scarlett, and in turn will be looking at how to help gamers' libraries stay with them moving forward, which means no more games coming to the Backwards Compatibility program from now on.

Ubisoft has made the ultimate call on some of its older titles. While online connectivity has been compromised for a few of these games in the past, (such as stripping out Xbox Achievements and PS3 Trophies) they're finally getting the full on multiplayer-ectomy. Ubisoft is bringing down the online servers and striking them from U-play on August 8th.
