The Xbox One Backwards Compatibility Program has been on somewhat of a break these past few weeks, but it’s back and with a vengeance today. Major Nelson, as usual, has tweeted out the latest additions to the library. Check them out below:

Sniper Elite V2 gives you another golden opportunity to shoot Nazi scumbags in the testes, which is an offer you should always accept. Always. Far Cry 2 is perhaps the red-headed step child of the series, especially when compared to 3 and 4, but it has some redeemable qualities. Some. You can see them if you squint. The highlight of the batch has to be Driver: San Francisco, which captures the feel of all the best crimes based B-movies and plays up to that. It’s dumb, silly, and you’ll fall in love with it.
What are your highlights from this batch of games? Let us know in the comments below.
